Utter Frustration. I need a hero.

I'm getting tired of dealing with my iPod. After trying 3 different conversion programs, nothing will transfer to my iPod. my iTunes SAYS that it's on there, but it's not there when i look on my ipod.
seriously. Apple fix your bugs.
Can anyone help? nothing anyone has said has worked.

Benjamin, It would be great if you could post on my thread right before this one, because I posted 3 of these and seemed to have confused some people.
So, view that one, and your help would be much appreciated.

I Need a Hero

I need a hero
Here's one I bet you haven't heard before. Should be a challenge for one of you geniuses out there.
My friend had a black MacBook that was dropped and rendered display-less. No video signal at all. He takes it to the Apple Store. The resident genius tells him that repairing it would be cost prohibitive. My friend agrees and buys a new MacBook Pro. During the attempt to move all his files to the new computer, the disabled MacBook's hard drive takes a dump. They got everything off but some photos and my friend was happy.
I've since inherited a one-year-old black MacBook with no display and a dead hard drive. I thought I'd stick a new drive in it, remove the lid/display and hook it up to an external display. Instant desktop!
Here's what I've determined I am going to have to do so far:
1. Install a new hard drive
2. Boot up on the system install discs to install OS X.
If you haven't jumped ahead and figured out my dilemma, here is what I see coming. I will have no way to click my way through the installation without a display. I could go ahead and hook up to the external display but I would need to change the monitor settings to use the external monitor. And since there is no system installed yet, I'm not sure I'll have any Settings to change anyway.
To any of you that made it through this long-winded story, got any ideas?

Hook it up & see.
My G5 PowerMac has dual-monitors, and when you boot it up the initial grey screen appears on both. I've never tried it on a Mac laptop, but you might well find it automatically mirrors the laptop display to a connected external monitor during boot up, if it finds one connected.
If it doesn't work, then come back here worrying about it. I've worked blind a fair bit on Windows, but not on Mac - generally speaking the worst case is to perform exactly the same operations on another machine, work out the keyboard shorcuts and blindly enter them on the computer with the knackered monitor. It's amazing when it works, but also it almost always works!
Windows PCs have great easy-to-use keyboard shortcuts, but Mac OS X can talk (speech synthesis) during installation so that blind people can install it. You sound resourceful - I'm sure you'll be ok.
PS: if you can find a similar model on eBay which has a dead CPU or logic-board (ideal symptoms "it was getting really hot and the fan was on all the time, then it just wouldn't power up") then you may be able to affordably cannibalise it for parts. About the only Macs that are cheap on eBay are dead ones, and reselling the left-over spares can be profitable. That sort of task is quite delicate, though - you have to be very careful during disassembly and reassembly, take it real slow!

Frustrated. Need Advice on SAP Security Implementation!!!

I'm very frustrated with my latest project and I would really appreciate your feedback.
I recently joined a company that's implementing SAP. They are already in the realization phase and will soon enter the final preparation stage. I was brought in to implement SAP Security. I was provided with a compiled list of roles and tcodes based on the blueprints from the teams and this was my starting point.
I wanted to do a presentation with the teams so that we all know what my expectations/requirements are from them and vice versa. In preparation for this, I gathered their processes from their blueprints. I wanted them to break each processes into detailed activities/tasks/functions. From there, they can identify the tcodes and then the roles. I also wanted to do this approach because the company is following SOX regulations. I showed this to my team lead and the PM and the PM adviced me not to go with this strategy because there would be too much work involved. I wanted this approach because I also wanted to do the SOD but I was told not to do it because it would only confused them. He just wanted to work on polishing the list of roles and tcodes.
Some teams leads are all experienced people while other teams are not because they are working with an employee from the company. Kinda like a partnership, 1 is a consultant while the other is a team lead from the company. Which I believe is normal practice so that there is knowledge transfer.
So I had my presentation and I found out that most of the team leads have not seen this compilation of roles and tcodes. I also found out that even though they are already in the realization stage, majority of the teams have no idea what roles to give nor do they know who to give it to. I also asked for the org chart from the HR team but I was told that they still don't have it and cannot give it to me. They even asked me why I need it. They also informed me that HR structural authorizations are not going to be implemented and yet nobody can give me a damn good reason why. All they tell me is that because they don't need it.
So as you can see, I'm not getting the cooperation/support I need to be able to do my job properly. How can I when every strategy I wanted to do is being turned down? What should I do? Really need your advice on how to proceed. Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Julius, Auke and Alex,
Im sure everyone would agree that the advice you guys offer is more than valuable. Thank you for that.
I myself have been encountering the same situation that Litz is facing except for that in my case the Management is very co-operative (and trust me, this helps a lot). My problem is that neither me nor my Management know what access needs to be given to Consultants or IT Staff after GoLive or even now.The Functional Consultants "don't have the time" to tell me what Tcodes they need access to, and they insist that they should have sap_all, and I have no idea what access they SHOULD have.
I was going to post another thread for my questions but I guess there are already too many which address the same issue. These threads did give me a good insight on how SAP Security should be managed, and I was able to get some of it chalked out. I have a few questions though, which I wasn't too sure about even after reading through the countless threads.
Most consultants in my company had sap_all in QA since no one knew what they should be have and often had we noticed that they would be playing with the Basis Tcodes. Now knowing what they have been doing in QA, I do not want to give them sap_all in Prod (although they insisted) at any cost. So, I made a role (z:sap_all), copied sap_all, disabled Basis Tcodes and assigned it to them. Then I kept adding Tcodes one by one on request basis.
We haven't gone Live (they say that we are still in testing phase since the final cutover is due in the next few weeks) yet and I know that this cannot work after Go-Live since z:sap_all has Tcodes like SE38, AL11, SM50 etc in Prod. They say that they need these to do processing and it is okay to give it to them since we haven't gone live. I would also like to mention that my company is trying to get SOX compliant and needs these things in place.
I have been entrusted a BIG responsiblity and am trying my best to live up to the expectations and I am relying yon you guys to help me out.All the Business Roles are in place, and its just the IT roles that I'm worried about.
So, my questions are
1. Until how long is it okay for Functional Consultants to have this kind of access in Prod ?
2. After we Go-Live, would a display only role for all functional Tcodes suffice for them ? Or should they have Basis Tcodes too ? If yes, which ones (Im asking this because I know that it should be minimal)
3. I have been to told to create an "IT-Support role" by the Manager of the Implementation Partner for after GoLive. But he has no idea what T-codes it should have or what it does. Any ideas on this ?
4. I have read about the "firefighting role". Im guessing that the IT Support Role is the same as this. But what exactly does the firefighting role have? And in what situations is it assigned?
5. How important is the period before the final Cutover important as far as SOX compliance goes?
A little enlightenment on the common issues encountered after Go Live would also help me assess the situation a lot better.
I hope Im not asking too much of your time here. Thank you again guys !! Appreciate it !

So frustrated! Need help positioning image...

Hi folks...
I am learning CSS in fits and starts, and clearly I don't have a good enough grasp on it. I hope someone can help me.
I created this page, and tried to place an image in the large "main content" area to the right of the slideshow. It didn't work, kept getting shifted elsewhere. So I specified it as the background image for that div instead... It looks fine in Firefox and Safari (I'm on a Mac), however, a colleague with Internet Explorer 7 on a PC says that it shows up way down at the bottom of the page after the slideshow
I've looked at all the ways to insert the image but none of them work. I know I must be missing something very simple. Can anyone help?

The width of your #mainConent <div> is too wide hence in IE it is displaced to beneath the side bar.
Change it to 560px wide and also add float: left; as shown below:

    height: 579px;
    width: 560px;
    float: left;

Utter frustration: no CD/DVD icon

My new iMac running OS X Leapord will not longer display a CD/DVD icon on the desktop. I've made no configuration changes of any kind; have not installed or uninstalled any software. The icon simply stopped showing up. It doesn't matter what CD or DVD has been inserted into the drive. Commercial music CD's, software installation DVD's, CD's or DVD's I've recorded myself (music), data CD's or DVD's I've burned, or blank discs on which I want to burn something.
Because of this I can't eject a disc without putting the iMac to sleep and using the eject button on the keyboard, or perform any action that requires clicking the icon and choosing options available from the menu that would pop up.
The only proposed solution to the icon problem in Apple FAQs is to reboot while holding down the mouse button. This has absolutely no effect at all.
After ditching Windows XP, I thought annoyances like this were behind me. I can't put into words how frustrating it is to have what was supposed to be a stable, functional computer & OS just suddenly stop working like this for no reason at all.

Thank you for the reply Antonio.
I've checked the preferences as you suggest and they are correct -- "Show these items on the Desktop" includes CD and DVD so that part is OK; remains unchanged and set to show the icon.
I created a new admin account to test your second suggestion. There was no change on the first attempt -- no CD/DVD icon appears on the new admin account's desktop. To be thorough I tried again, this time completely shutting down the iMac and restarting; then logged into the new admin account again. This also fails -- no CD or DVD icon appears on the desktop. I can't eject any disc without putting the system to sleep and using the manual eject button on the keyboard.
I think the system is only under warranty for 30 days which means I'm dead in the water. The manner in which this happened suggests an OS/software problem, based on what I've read on the net from others who have also lost the icon. Holding down the mouse button while rebooting seems to have worked for some of them. The only other option seems to be completely reinstalling OS X and then all my apps, which to be honest at the moment makes me want to go someplace quiet and cry for a while. This wasn't supposed to happen on the Mac

Lightroom, Assertion Fail, and my utter frustration and disappointment with Adobe

Right now it is after 3AM and I have been trying for hours to get my very expensive Adobe software to work because it decided break even though I had not changed anything since it all worked correctly last weekend.
I have been using Lightroom since it initial beta and rely on it to do my job as a photographer. I upgraded to 5.4 the day it came out, which has not been several months ago. It all that time I have not had any problems. Specifically, a week ago it was working just fine. In case this is relevant, despite having full Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CS6 licenses, I went ahead and signed up for CC while the photographer bundle was still available. Anyway, tonight I came home after photographing and event and went to start the import process only to find that Lightroom decided it wanted me to register again, and then did two "Assertion Failure" popups before completely failing to work. This happens if I just launch the application or click on an individual catalog to open it. My deadline which requires the processing of almost 800 photos is what is now this afternoon.
So far I have:
* Run through the entire Adobe provided steps listed here: Error: 'assertion failed' | Update | Windows
* Tried running the application as admin
* Rebooted the computer
* Uninstalled and reinstalled 5.4 using CC
* Uninstalled and installed 5.3 manually
* Manually installed the 5.4 upgrade on top of 5.3
* Tried Chatting with a "Customer Service" rep. This name is completely false. As a customer, the service I need is for the software that I both bought and subscribed to to work when I need it to work for my job. The person I was selected to chat with told me that they had no way to help me with any sort of technical issue and I would need to call tech support starting Monday at 5AM. This is completely insane. Why are they even available on the weekend if they can't solve technical issues? Who sits around on Friday night with issues important enough to contact support immediately that aren't technical in nature?
This is made even more fun by the fact that it would appear all or most of the Adobe website is offline right now.
At this point I am at a complete loss for how I am suppose to make this work. Any suggestions for solutions other than was I have listed above would be greatly appreciated. If some technically capable Adobe person happens to see this, I would be more than willing to provide any debug output that might be helpful.

Try deleting your preferences file (I mean: rename, or make a backup before deleting). This page has location info:

Totally frustrated. Need help with type tool in CS2.

Must start by admitting I'm embarrassed to have to even find myself asking this question. . . But after working with PageMaker since Ver. 2.0 in the early '80s, finally was forced to switch to CS2 when I had to replace my Mac/Intel computer 3 (or was it 4 years ago?). Did so fighting and cursing all the way, and I'm still having trouble typing in Photoshop . . . not just today, but EVERY TIME I sit down to work on a project.
Most are brochures and display ads, and though friends and colleagues insist my real problem is that I should be setting them up in InDesign, I'm convinced it's easier to work on graphics and text simultaneously in Photoshop.
My problem is in grabbing text blocks in order to edit them. Occasionally I'm able to highlight the text I need, but usually I keep getting new type layers instead. I know it should not be this difficult, but as soon as I select the text with the cursor, I get a new, empty text box.It doesn't seem to matter if I am in the layers or edit mode.
I may not be the most technically advanced Adobe user, but I'm not stupid. What the heck am I doing wrong? Can someone please steer me right?

Try this on for size:
Type Tool Tips for Photoshop
Most folks understand how to create text in Photoshop. You select the Type Tool from the Toolbox, or you tap the "T" key on your keyboard. Then, in the Character Palette you set the attributes for font, color, size, etc. A simple click in your document window will mark the spot where you may begin typing unbounded "point" text. Or, you click and drag in your document window to create a paragraph text box. Type out your text, then tap your "Enter" key to commit the text to its new layer.
It's pretty straightforward, and Photoshop offers a decent set of tools to adjust how your text looks. One hitch that long-timers will tell you about, though: It's generally accepted that Photoshop isn't the best application to be using if you have to have to create a lot of text because it doesn't have all of the adjustment functions necessary to produce large amounts of professional-quality text. Well, the real world being what it is, sometimes, and for some users, Photoshop is the only application they have to work with; might as well make the best of it, right?
So, once you have text entered onto a layer in your document, how do you then reselect iteither all of it or just a portion and navigate through it easily? What follows will answer some of those questions.
Note: The keyboard shortcuts that follow assume you are using a Mac. If you're using Windows, substitute the CTRL key for "Command."
Double-Click on the boxed 'T' thumbnail on the desired Text Layer in the Layers Palette. This will select and highlight all of the text on that layer.
Then, if you want, you can use some keyboard shortcuts to move the "Blinking Bar" Type Tool cursor through the text.
Assuming that your text is enclosed in a click-and-dragged out paragraph text box--When all text is highlighted:
"Home" key will move cursor to the beginning of first line of text.
"End" key will move cursor to the end of last line of text.When text is NOT highlighted, but cursor is flashing within the text:
"Home" key moves cursor to the beginning of the line it's in.
"End" key moves cursor to the end of the line it's in.
Command + "Home" moves cursor to beginning of first line of text.
Command + "End" moves cursor to end of the last line of text.
Shift + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the line it's in.
Shift + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the line it's in.
Shift + Command + "Home" selects text from cursor position to the beginning of the first line of text.
Shift + Command + "End" selects text from cursor position to the end of the last line of text.Arrow keys can also be used to select text in various ways. When your cursor is flashing within the text:
Shift + Right Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the end of the text.
Shift + Left Arrow cumulatively selects text one character or space at a time, from cursor position, progressing toward the beginning of the text.
⇒ Add the Command key to select whole words at a time, in either direction.
Shift + Up Arrow selects text from cursor position back to the next line above the cursor.
Shift + Down arrow selects text from cursor position forward to the next line below the cursor position.
⇒ Add the Command key to select text starting from the cursor position, and accumulating either back to the beginning of the first line, or forward to the end of the last line.
That covers most of what (or more than) you need to know to navigate through and highlight text. There are some other key combos, and now that you have an idea of what to do, I'll let you experiment and discover them on your own.
Type Tool Visual Indicators
Keep a close eye on your Type Tool cursor as you move it near to and away from a hunk of text in your document window.
When you see it as a plain old "I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means that it's ready to select a position within that text, or to select a hunk of that text.
When you see a "boxed I-Bar" cursor⇒
⇒...that means your cursor is outside of the selectable area for the current text, and is ready for you to click (to start right in typing some unbounded point text) or click-n-drag (to create a paragraph text box). This will, of course, create a new text layer.
How can you get a visual indicator of where that selectable area for current text begins and ends without blindly moving your Type Tool cursor around the text? Double-Click on the "Boxed-T" thumbnail in the Layers Palette. The text for that layer will become highlighted in your document window. See the black area that surrounds the text? That shows you the actual space occupied by the characters. If your Type Tool cursor is inside this area, it will display the plain "I-Bar" cursor. If it's outside of that area, it will display the "Boxed I-Bar" cursor.
Want to FORCE Photoshop to create a new Type Layer, even though you're seeing the plain I-Bar cursor?
Hold the SHIFT key, then either click, or click-n-drag out a paragraph text box.

FRUSTRATED! Need help, please!

I have written a program for my Pacman maze (see code below).
The program compiles and displays the maze, but the problem is when I minimize the window and miximize it again, the display disappears or becomes corrupted. I thought I need to use repaint or update. HOWEVER this is where it gets interesting. When I have any kind of loop in my paint() method, for example the nested "for" loop in the code below which paints the maze on the screen based on the "board" array, each time I resize or minimize the window, the display becomes corrupted. BUT, if I take the loops out and just use any draw statement to paint something on the screen, I dont have the same problem. And the program repaints the screen perfectly when the window is resized or minimized.
Please help me, I have already spent a long time on this problem.
THanks in advance.
here is the code.

I think you did not reset the xbound/ybound variables after the paint, therefore the numbers keep increasing each time the paint method is called.
Try setting both variables to 0 at the start of the paint method.

I am EXTREMELY frustrated and need help.

My mom purchased an iPod 20 gig model, and things have been going fine. It is a 2004 model, non-photo regular ipod. Now, I have been converting her CD collection and putting them on her ipod. I had 4+gigs of music on her ipod, and for some reason, when I connected it to my computer last week it simply ERASED everything. I figured it was a glitch, made sure the software was updated, and then went about redoing everything.
Tonight, with another 40-50 CDs ripped and put on, IT DID IT AGAIN. As soon as I connected, Itunes popped up, (apparently) wiped the ipod instantly, and tried copying my itunes library.
What can i do about this? I'm about ready to bash my head into a freaking wall here. Why is this happening randomly? What can I do to prevent it?

Welcome Zack,
No need to bash your head through the wall. Not yet anyway....
"Why is this happening randomly? What can I do to prevent it?"
When set to Update Automatically your iPod (any iPod) will replace it's song library with that of the computer you connect it to.
Are you deleting the iTunes libraries after ripping the cd's and loading the iPod? You have to make a backup of the iTunes library or leave it on your computer.
Connect the iPod to your computer, and click on the iPod icon in the source pane in iTunes, then click on the iPod icon at the bottom right of the iTunes screen and opt to Manage Manually. This will prevent it from automatically updating when connected.

Frustrated and Need Help with AE after new router installed

My AE worked fine on a previous router that ran through a modem. I now have a 2 Wire Modem-Router combo and cannot get my computer to recognize it. I am running Windows XP. I have plugged the AE base station directly into the router and configured it but, as soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable, it stops working. I have tried to join a wireless network in client mode but my computer, since it does not have a wireless card only a router, cannot see the base station. Which way do I go? Do I setup the base station while connected by ethernet cable or do I try to setup in client mode wirelessly? If while connected by ethernet, what settings? My routers is DHCP and does have a password associated with it?

Issue was addressed in another dicussion.

My apple id doesnt work (it wont let me log in) i need help

The main reason i need to log into my apple id is because i bought a $50 itunes giftcard that i wanted to buy music with. The problem with this is that when i went to go buy music on itunes, it told me i needed to verify my account by answering my security questions. I didnt remember my answers so i went on apple's website to log in and get my answers through my recovery email. This is the start of the problem. The email that showed up was a yahoo account, but it didnt show the full address which didnt help at all. I didnt recieve the email, so i decided maybe changing my other backup emails would change the recovery email which i now realize didnt do anything. I looked up help because i was really frustrated i couldnt use the giftcard until i resolved this issue, and i read maybe changing my main email to a backup one would help for whatver reason. And i did that, and when i went to verify it it said that the email was no longer associated with the account. I tried logging back in and it said either my email or my password was incorrect, and i have officially given up by now. I tried the iforgot and used my first and last name and current email and it said nothing was found. So i made another apple id with the same username and password thinking maybe the money would transfer over but it didnt. I changed the email now so that i could use my original email to get the account back, but when i try logging in with the old account nothing happens. im really frustrated and need help fixing this issue i know this is a big mess but hopefully someone can help me out haha.
*i really want this account saved because i am not spending another $50 on an itunes giftcard.

Probably not, just tell them you can't use the account and follow along.

I need to know if my wireless & networks setting is correct

I was changing/customizing the different areas since I just got this replacement phone and I had an app say it had to have roaming turned on to work a few days ago when I was having problems with it freezing up and not working. I thought this was odd so I pulled up "mobile networks options" in the "wireless and networks" in "settings" and I cant seem to turn roaming off. I don't remember turning it on but the phone was messing up when I got that message so I am concerned the app possibly changed it or I did not thinking out of frustrating of needing that app to work right then!
under the first option is data roaming and even if you choose deny it will still say "connect to data services when roaming" is this correct?
under preferred network I'm given several options such as "global" "CDMA" and "GSM/UMTS mode" which is it suppose to be set on? I do NOT travel outside the USA and I have unlimited data but I don't understand roaming and roaming charges so I don't know which to choose and if one will charge me etc.
then under CDMA options (when I have it chosen) it has "system select" and it has "home only" and "automatic" which one do I choose?
then there is a check box "enable always on mobile data" should this be checked?
I have looked and tried to figure this out but always hear about roaming in reference of travel outside the USA. as far as I know i have never hit a section in USA that has made me go into roaming and I really don't want the cost of it because I screwed up and chose the wrong one.
this replacement phones setting are just a little different so I cant figure out what it was suppose to be originally as far as my old phone had.
the phone fully functions on global and cdma which I have heard some phones wont on one or the other so that didn't help me figure it out =(
help!! I use data all the time and my husband told me to put it on wifi till I figure this out but i have to leave the house so I don't know what to do.

Awesome, lordkaos! I really like the Incredible 2.
When you go to the network settings, http://vz.to/178COko we recommend having it set to CDMA. If you do travel overseas, then you can select one of the other settings.

I need help trying to print ,move and resize multiple images on a page to print!help!

can anyone give me to some advice. I was using an older version of photoshop elements where i could position the image i wanted to print on the page. I could resize it, move it around and add more photo's. I print small images that I cut out for jewelry making and need to be able to add 12 small images to a 4x6 print size page. My new elements is not allowing me to do that! I'm frustrated and need help!! thanks!

It should work just the same as before: create a blank document, place your images on it, then print it. The only difference is that you can't change the position of the image in the print window anymore.

Google Voice vs Skype Need to Make Decsion ASAP

I need to make a decsion on if I should use google voice for my new business or skype. The lack of ability to talk directly with a human about my questions is also frustrating. i need to order business cards and finish print materials asap so someone please answer quickly. Why should I choose skype over Google Voice when one is free and the other isnt.

Solo una cosa. GV è un numero MOBILE tipo mentre Skype-in è un numero di tipo fisso. Alcuni paesi non consentono l'ID chiamante per il tuo numero Skype-in - si richiede di portarlo a un numero di cellulare. Questo problema non è nel GV - ed è oggetto di molte discussioni denuncia su Skype-in Google "ID chiamante Skype-in" e troverete i thread.
Courtesy of Google Translate:
Just one thing. GV is a number such as Skype MOBILE-in is a number of fixed type. Some countries do not allow the caller ID for your Skype-in number - are required to take it to a mobile phone number. This problem is not in the GV - and is the subject of much discussion on complaint Skype-in Google "Caller ID Skype-in" and find the thread.
