Win XP Config error on bootcamp startup; I don't get the wheel or option to choose OS! help!
When I start up, I get the grey screen, but no OS options (I've been successfully running Win XP via bootcamp for over a year), then Windows DOS tells me that there is a missing/or corrupt system\config file and tells me to put windows setup disc back in. That doesn't work, neither does trying to boot off of Leopard - it just keeps coming to the same screen.. how do I get my Leopard back? I will delete this partition, I only had to use it to VPN for work..
Please help!
So you can't even boot into the Mac side....Hmmmmm....
Unless you have a defective keyboard then no reason, except maybe plug it into another USB port and try again. Are you sure your using the MacOS Install disk and not the Applications disk? Had to ask.
Do you have any other USB, Firewire, etc, devices hooked up? Disconnect everything except the Apple keyboard and mouse and try booting again.
Try digging out your "Hardware Test" CD that came with the computer and insert it and restart and press the D key and see if it will run.
One last try, it's a guess, immediately after the startup chime try pressing the "Shift" key and see if it will boot into Safe Mode, it will then do an automatic maintenance script.
If no one else has any answers then my guess would be your Mini may have a hardware issue and maybe take it to an Apple Store and have them check it out for you. If your Hard Drive was dying you should of still been able to boot into the MacOS installer disk.
Sorry I can't help more....

How can I get the default value of a particular preference in FireFox?.
I know I can see the default value for some of the preferences in about:config but, I need a programatic way to get the default value.
I see some that there are values for preferences in firefox.cs but I am not certain that these are being used as the default values for preferences. prefs.js in user's profile only has the updated values and not the default values.
Any help towards acheiving this programtically is greatly appreciated.
If the default values are stored in a file, kindly let me know the format in which it is stored for me to parse it programatically.

Here when you have the callableSattement as ?=proc(?), the first ? is an output parameter. So you should register it as out parameter using registeroutparameter.
Then you can get the value from the outparameter using callablestatement.getXXX().
Try that way.

I have the new 2011 macbook pro, with lion preinstalled. I want to change the harddrive. I have backed up everything on time machine. when i put my new blank hard drive in will the lion screen startup.How do i get the lion dmg when i am already using lion
NicholasLiban -
When you use the Lion restore as described, it does a fresh install on the hard drive that you can select at the beginning of the process. This provides a complete install of the very latest version of Lion, including the recovery partition. The drive that you choose for the installation destination winds up like what you would have on a brand new computer from Apple.

I am receiving the error code (-50) when trying to access the itunes store. The original itune songs etc were installed on a win 7 32 bit system and I have now moved to a win 7 64 bit system (same PC) and have copied the folder across. Has the switch from 32 to 64 bit caused the problem? Is this why I get the error code? I can, however, access the itunes store to view my account. Any ideas please?

Edited by: user7640966 on Nov 24, 2011 9:07 AMHussein,
One thing which I noticed now is in the apps Tier the
tnsnames.ora under $TNS_ADMIN
shows entry like this:
PROD=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsServerName>)(PORT=1521))
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<dbServer>)(PORT=1521))
(CONNECT_DATA=
(SID=PROD)
)Actually *(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=<appsIPaddress>)(PORT=1521))* this line in the tnsnames.ora is not correct. In fact the appsServerName should be replaced with dbServerName
I deleted the tnsnames.ora and reran autoconfig but it is again recreating the same entry.
Any clue how this can be fixed?
Thanks

I am having troubles, when I open LR I get a message that there is an error and it will try to fix the error next time it opens. LR closes on it's own, I reopen it and get that same message next time it opens, and this is going on and on where I can not use LR, any suggestions? If I click on a different set of photos in the libary before I get that message I might or might not get the message next time it oipens, but I still can not get to those photos, and it is not just one or two but most of my photos. HELP!!!!
Thanks
CarolThe first thing I would suggest is for you to go to the folder containing your catalog, using your system browser. There will be a folder that has the extension .lrdata. Delete that folder, and then try to start Lightroom. If that doesn't work, replace your catalog with your most recent backup.

Error in Powerpoint 2011: "You don't have the permissions necessary to perform the operation"
We have a user with a new iMac running 10.7.2 that is having some strange problems with Powerpoint 2012 and who knows how many other programs. The issue is whenever these programs try to write to the user's personal network folder, which we keep on a DFS share. The error message only pops up when the user tries to save over something that already has that file name on the share. So she is always able to make file.pptx, but any subsequent "save" commands result in this error message: "You don't have the permissions necessary to perform the operation." Then, all she can do is save the file as newfile.pptx.
This doesn't happen in Word or any other files in the office suite. I've tried this both when connecting to the DFS share, and when using SMB to connect directly to the folder on the server, with no change in results. I've not tried removing/reinstalling the Office suite, because it's only powerpoint. I believe it must be something to do with her account's permissions in Active Directory, but when she uses this domain account on a Windows computer, there are no problems at all, of course.
There's a mere 3 google hits on that bolded error message, leaving me with very little to go on. Has anyone run into this before?Hey,
I have Mac users using Office 2011 saving to CIFS shares having the exact same problem.
Like heiseheisepointed pointed out only Power Point seems to be affected. Word, Excel etc seem to work fine.
I have checked and reapplied the permissions to the share and it is not that, I believe it is something faulty in PowerPoint itself.
I also tried saving the files as ppt rather than pptx but you still get a permissions based error message.
Just wondering is eitherJeff or hbonath have any sucess in getting a fix for this?
Cheers

Hi @imobl,
You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
To respond to some of the points you made,
- I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
- you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
- all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add. -
The error message isheaded Java Script Application:

After I click OK twice, the message goes away and ff4 seems to operate properlyYou cannot redact a signed document. This is because one of the things signatures guarantee is access to the OLDER document (i.e. there will be an unredacted copy in there).
In general you cannot remove signatures, but sometimes you can. Look under the Signatures tab (right click on left vertical bar if there isn't one) to see if it is removable. -
How do I fix my PDF so I don't get the error message: "expected an array object"?
When I try to delete certain pages from my PDF file (which is larger than 3,000 pages), I get an error message that states "expected an array object." I am unable to delete these pages. How can I fix this problem?
It looks like the original PDF file is damaged in some ways. Have you tried creating a new file from the existing file to see if it works? The quickest way to create a new file is to print the existing file to a PDF file. OK you lose some quality but this is just a test to see if there is anything else wrong with the Acrobat setup or with the document itself.

I'm creating an epub with Pages for upload to various sites. When I error check the epub, I get only one error message: "undeclared prefix: ibooks." The file itself works perfectly and looks fantastic when I open it directly from my computer/ipad with numerous Mac-compatible reading apps. However, I have no idea what distortions this "error" will cause when the epub is uploaded and redistributed. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, did it create problems in distribution? Or is it irrelevant? Thanks for any practical and straight forward answers and/or suggestions.
Based on that, it does sound like the sites you were having problems with had to do with filenames, not this error. I can imagine a site running a standard EPUB verifier, and if any errors at all are thrown rejecting the file, but practically speaking an unknown META tag (what's causing this error) should be ignored by the parser and therefore by definition be harmless.
I was using a free Java-based checker myself, and the fact that I managed to clear up the error indicates to me (unless I'm remembering wrong or misunderstood what fixed it in my case) that it's probably not technically the EPUB checker's failure to recognize the Apple META property; more accurately, it's that the XML dictionary the file is referencing doesn't include the Apple items in it, so the EPUB checker is correctly complaining about it.
It could also be something as simple as Pages generating a file that is marked as an EPUB v2 file but that uses EPUB v3 features (I know my book was intended to be v3, and I could have inadvertently used headers for v2).
Regardless, if the sites accept it, there's a good chance it is okay; DRM, at least, isn't going to change anything--only if an e-reader changes its EPUB parser at some point and breaks something, which seems unlikely.
However, the best way to find out if it's going to work right is to test it. Kindle is far and away the most popular reader, so try it with that and see if it comes out looking how you expect. You should be able to view it in the Kindle application, and there is also a Kindle simulatior available from Amazon that lets you see how an e-paper Kindle will render books without having to buy one. They have very limited EPUB support as far as features go, so it's definitely worth testing even if there are no errors--a lot of things iBooks will display just fine a Kindle will choke on. The older e-paper Nooks, in my experience, are even worse. -
