What the fudge...?

hey people, quick bit of advice needed if you can help out.
just noticed my old man's eMac (800mhz,) screen has gone pear shaped, literally, the whole screen looks like it's being pulled from each side, and ended up streched. checked resoloution and did restart, but now thinkin graphics card rooted?

Pehpsi,
Check the PRAM battery with a multimeter set for DC volts while the battery is under load (in the battery holder inside the eMac) and if it's more than 0.1v off from 3.6v, replace it. See the battery replacement instructions at eMac - Do-It-Yourself
Then try clearing the NVRAM (which hold the display settings) per the instructions below, then use System Preferences> Display> Geometry tab and use the pincushion, trapezoid, position, width.height etc controls to adjust the screen back to where it should be. When you have acceptable geometry again, do a full shutdown followed by a cold start (not a restart) to check that the settings stick.
To reset NVRAM, restart holding down the command-option-o-f keys; at the "Welcome to Open Firmware" black text on a white screen type in the following commands and press return after each (case sensitive, no spaces):
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
The Mac should restart after reset-all (if it doesn't, type mac-boot and press Return)
Let us know if this helps.

HTC Thunderbolt: What the fudge?

Honestly Verizon—honestly? One day in March when I was on my way to the local Verizon Shoppe to buy an iPhone 4. I was looking around the store, intrigued by this new 4G LTE (which is the only thing I like about this phone) I started to talk to a salesmen about it who convinced me that this was "the phone to buy". Now after owning this phone for about 2 months now I can confidently say that having a HTC thunderbolt; proclaimed flagship 4G phone of Verizon wireless is worse than owning a dog with down's syndrome.
Now besides how thick and heavy this phone is there are just so many issues with it, the kick stand is rotting away, the battery life is lower than a limbo stick for mice, the screen is absolute crap and considering that it is an HTC sense phone we should have things like HTCsense.com at out disposal but no--big red decided to take the "Oh we could have good features that will make out customers happy but I'd rather just leave them out" rout. Who knew that someone could feel so much hatred for plastic? But what recently tipped the turtle on it's back was that my 4G/3G/1x will not even work anymore, I am paying a fee for unlimited data and it's not picking up anything it use to. What kind of fortune 500 company can get away with selling a heaping pile of poop to customers and advertise it as the latest and greatest technology?
Does anyone know if it's possible for me to go to my local Verizon store and trade this in for another 4G phone or an iPhone?

Have a had 4 major rebooting phones and with 3g3bars not be able to use it to do the internet although good signal. When I charged them sometimes they would shut off. I get 6-7 hrs with the phone not shutting off or rebooting. Wouldn't u think they would feel bad. All these things after update that's officially recalled. I love my phone but I don't love what its done. It died one day after 2 - 3 hrs caught it rebooting 3-4 times.

Apparently I have MULTIPLE Apple ID's, many linked to very old computers/emails that I no longer use and I have no clue what they are nor what the passwords could possibly be. I just want to be able to listen to music THAT I OWN!

I am trying to play music on my iTunes that I had burned from either CD's that I had bought & own (in order to preserve the CD from damage and it is all only for my personal use) or purchased through iTunes. Much, but not all of this was done on an old computer, and on old e-mails that no longer exist, and for that matter I have no clue what the passwords could possibly be! The computer that I use now is at least 10 years old, so how am I supposed to remember passwords from that long ago? I am constantly being told to reset my password, but that apparently just seems to compound the issue. One account will not even accept my birthday and my security question which I know with 100% certainty are correct. I JUST WANT ACCESS TO MUSIC I OWN OR HAVE PURCHASED over the past 20+ years, and I don't care what computer I did it on or what e-mail address I used, and forget about trying to recall my password! Apple makes it so difficult to do passwords it's ridiculous! I would need a book to write down every password that I have tried, and apparently not succeeded in using! add to my frustration is that my son put literally TONS of his music onto my computer and used his various Apple ID's and passwords, and it's just a bumble cluck of a mess. AGAIN, I only want access to MY MUSIC!

You're supposed to remember them or make note of them because they are key to a resource in which you have invested financially, just like keeping records for bank accounts you have or keys to your car. It is just that people haven't woken up to the importance of having a digital legacy too.
Here are resources for forgotten passwords:

Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is?

Pondini,
Can you please take a look at my TM Buddy log and opine on what the problem is? I'm stuck in the "Preparing Backup" phase for what must be hours now. My last successful backup was this morning at 7:16 am. I did do a series of Software Update this morning, one of which, a security update I believe, required a restart.
I'm confused as to what the issue is, and how to get everything back to "it just works".
Many thanks in advance.

Time Machine can't read some data it needs from your backups (each of those date-stamps is one of your backups).
That's usually a problem with the drive itself, but could be the directory on it. First be sure all plugs are snug and secure, then see if you can repair it, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
If that doesn't help, post back with the results. Also either tell us what kind of Mac you have, what version of OSX you're running, or post that to your Profile, so it's accessible.
This is unrelated to the original post here, so I'm going to ask the Hosts to split it off into a new thread. Since you've posted in the Lion forum, I'll assume that's what you're running. You should get a notice from them

How do you determine what the default filename is when you do a SaveAs?

I have a shcedule that I saved and now I want to save it as a .pdf file, so I go into File, SaveAs and select .pdf in the drop down and the default filename is "document" not what the name of my schedule was. Where is that set? How
do I make it default to the name of the MS Project Filename?
Thanks,
Casey

Hi Casey,
Which version, SP and CU do you have? Trying with Project 2010 SP1, the original file name is kept whatever extension selected in the "save as" dialog box.
Hope this helps,

What the difference and use between   of TABLES and SY-REPID?

Hi,
Experts,
I have came accross 2 cases that i can't able understand
EX1:
TABLES: VBAP   -
>( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP but, by
data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to DDIC VBAP table VBELN field then what the using declaring tables. )
( and )
DATA: VBAP TYPE VBAP -->( Here also Appplication Server(AS) creates Wrokarea of Structure VBAP data: v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.    but,double clicking on variable v_vbeln AS taking me to user declared VBAP
                                              i.e., above DATA declaration statement )
Then Which one is better in Functionality wise as well as Performance wise or when we have to go for TABLES and when we have to go for DATA declaration of DDIC objects.
EX2:
what the difference between
I know that SY_REPID is not a system variable. And also that
Data: vrepid type SY_REPID.--> Predefined data type in ABAP
and
Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.-> Predefined Constatnt in ABAP( it is a constant it allowing with out VALUE
attribute)
what difference between them and when we have to go Data: vrepid type SY_REPID and when we have to go Data: vrepid like SY_REPID.
Thank U,
Shabeer Ahmed.

Hi Ahmed,
TABLES:
VBAP.   " DDIC
DATA:
v_vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the DDIC VBAP
DATA:
VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
*Here you are using the local data object as your data type so it will always
* take you to user declared VBAP which is declared by you.
DATA:
T_VBAP TYPE VBAP.
DATA:
vbeln like vbap-vbeln.
* here its using T_VBAP not DDIC VBAP
And for performance always the second option is better, use Data instead of tables, declare your own local structure.
Data:
vrepid type SY_REPID. thereis nop redefined data type in ABAP as SY_REPID
* its SY-REPID which is a system variable.
Data:
vrepid type SY-REPID.
Also refer to the links:
Difference between tables statement and by using type statement
for type and like:

Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and arrayCollection.removeAll()?

Whats the difference between arrayCollection = null and
arrayCollection.removeAll()?

In arrayCollection = null; statement you're setting this
reference to null and potentially making it available for garbage
collection. I say 'this reference' and potentially because, as you
may know, there might be other references to this array collection
object that won't be affected by this statement and hence it won't
be GC'ed.
arrayCollection.removeAll() says that I want to empty this
array collection for all the reference that we pointing to it. That
is, remove all the objects from the collection -- and of course
make them 'potentially' available for the GC -- the size of the
array collection would be reduced down to zero and all the
references would be pointing to a valid but empty collection.
Hope this helps.

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I am using chat-r wireless and facetime is not working but when i put rogers fido or any other carrier sim in it work. Anyone know what the problem?

I'm guessing it's a compatibility problem similar to that that T-Mobile in the US has. I'm not familiar with chat-r wireless, but I'm guessing it's not a supported carrier for the iPhone. If they can't tell you how to fix it, I'm guessing it's just plain not going to work.

I have a powerbook G-4 15 inch, It wont boot up and the display only works on the first try. it gets to the apple screen and freezes, when i try to restart theres no display. Help please, whats the issue here?

HT5625 Upgraded iphone 4 to 5s. Want to use 4 as ipod. DO NOT KNOW APPLE ID FOR 4. When I try to find Apple ID, it finds the id on my ipad and my 5s. I have no idea what the old id is? What are my options?

New ID?
Is there some reason you created a new AppleID?
Why don't you simply continue to use the same AppleID you had?
The 4 ID IS something I made up in the store the day I bought the phone. I have no idea what the id is.
You had an iPhone for 2 years and you never got anything from iTunes or never enabled any features of the iPhone?

The apps were purchased by another user with a different Apple ID. You will have to erase them and repurchase them using your Apple ID.

Can't figure out what the problem is, please help!

Hey, so I have a Mac Mini which I bought nearly 3 years ago. I've been running the latest system 10.6.6, when the issues started. Everything would just unexpectedly quit and occasionally, I'd get the "You need to re-start your computer..." grey screen, also the desktop would refresh itself and not open any folders or anything at all. Finder, Console, Dashboard Client, etc all quit,´and sometimes the nmblookup thing would pop up, but before I could click Allow or Deny, it'd dissappear again.
I ran the Hardware Test, and four times out of seven it said "No Trouble Found" while three times out of seven it gave me an error code starting with 4MEM. The system profiler, meanwhile, told me that both RAM cards were OK. I did the Hard Drive verification through Utilities and it gave me some problem starting with "Key..." and said it could not be repaired.
SO, I reformatted the HD as it suggested, deleting everything (I've got it backed up though). Then, I installed Snow Leopard again, and the issues were still present. It would Quit Unexpectedly freeze up, etc. So then I went and erased the hard-drive again, and a new partition was made automatically. After that, I tried installing the original software which came with the computer. Except that after Installation Disk 1 was finished, the computer restarted and then it was just a blue screen. Nothing. It didn't ask for the second disk or aything. I tried again, and in the middle of Disk 2 Installation the grey "You need to re-start..." screen came down. ***. Now, I can't seem to install ANY Mac OS X on my computer, not what it came with, not the Snow Leopard, nothing.
Again, Hardware Tests tells me everything is ok, and the Hard Drive also says there's nothing to repair. Then what is this? I don't even know what it could be anymore! Please help if you have an idea of what this might be! Unfortunally, at the moment I have no money to send it to the repair so they'd check=/
Thanks in advance, any help would be greatly apreciated!

Oh ok, well that was what the test said prior to reformatting the hard drive. Now, it doesn't find any trouble no matter how many times I run it. That's what has me so confused, everything seems to check out and yet...I can't do anything, not even install the software!
