Reformat is always the last resort and I am not sure whether the OP would want to do that either.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Agree but very troublesome, after you reinstall you have to restore your backup data and change whatever settings you want to change.

System user is the person that first buys the computer and register with it and create an account. He could then create a lot of other accounts and give them administrative rights. The administrative account have most privileges but not as much as the system user.

@ caperjack

Nice obeservation. Everyone was busy helping out that they miss that point.

Besides that, I think there is something wrong with " No mountable boot devide" error message. This error usually happens on a Mac OS/OS X machine. Does it happen on Windows machine too or just toshiba netbooks. I have never encounter this problem before and the most common one error similar to the OP is " Unmountable Boot Volume"

Have any one come across such message as the OP? Just clarifying, after all this is the first problem daniweb has seen it so many years...

Thanks for the specs but the problem is very broad and it will be very difficult to actually diagnose the source and help you. Try taking to a repair shop and have an expert to closely look at your problem. Sorry for not being able to help you

The same thing happen on my father's laptop now long ago. I ran malwarebytes and the problem is solved. Till now I am not sure what just happened but you can give it a try.

There are many answers to you questions and I can't tell you all of them. But I give you the link to you for to take a look.

1) you can always do use Traceroute to check but alternatively there is a software to help you called WinMTR.

4) what do you mean. Do you mean by slow internet connection. That question is a very broad one and in order to provide you with more answers we need more details.

What PC are you using and what is the model number? Are you good with PC, if not I suggest taking your computer to have an expert to look at it, your problem is very broad and there are many reasons that can cause a black screen.

holy crap, every one should chill out. Seriously, this is a 5 year old thread I started when I was young and dumb. I remember that job and it was an unpaid internship. During down times, my coworker and I would try to mess with each other. That was a crap long time ago.

Holy crap you're back:D. I agree let's just allow this thread to R.I.P

Your hard disk is not getting detected. Maybe you accidentally change your startup disk. You have to get an install disk and try booting it up and see whether that works.

See this. Scroll down until you see something like Moving Pictures Experts Group (.mpg, .mpeg, .m1v, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .mpe, .mpv2, .m3u). Read the whole thing

Can you tell me what is the beep sounds you heard?

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

How old is your hard drive, it might crash soon.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

When using a mouse does it work? Based on the modem stick and flash disk, nothing can still be concluded. When you said not functioning, does the flash disk get detected in my computer but you are unable to use it?

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Plug in when you want to backup your data to that hard drive using Time Machine, if not in use just plug it out. There are no pros but the cons is that your hard drive may get corrupted easily.

No difference as seen in this link. I would recommend the Free Agent Goflex as a better choice.

Last resort try formatting your hard disk.

Playing Savage 2: Tortured Soul now. Excellent game for those using Mac.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

So what you are trying to find out now if whether mac has viruses, right? The answer can be yes or no depends on how you believe it. There are viruses that infects mac circulating around the web and the chance of getting one is so rare that people don't believe that these virus out there.

Try using Sophos Antivirus Free For Mac. It is able to detect both windows and mac viruses much better than Norton and the virus definitions are update daily.

Goodbye Steve Jobs.

First of all what do you mean when you cannot open a file in new tab? Can you explain and give me some examples, perhaps?

Installer will open automatically when you double click on a .pkg file. Can you tell me what file types you see in the dmg. .zip or .pkg?

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Have you tested it and see whether it run perfectly fine on a Mac OSX Snow Leopard or Lion. If no, try taking a look at this first

http://www.mono-project.com/Main_Page

You app must be able to work in Mac OSX to continue the rest of the steps.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

so what did you do? The solution you use might help other members next time when they have a similar problem like yours.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Have you seen an example of a software using installer before, if no then i do not encourage you to use an installer, You can just drag the app inside the dmg and if people want to install it on their computer, they can simply drag it to their applications folder.

What is you app filename extension. .app or what?

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

According to my knowledge,Google provides relevant information for your search.I think 90 percent of internet users use Google as the best browser.

From what I think, more than 90% of your points are wrong. lol

Just to add in case you are " really viewing " this thread. The router control panel is your router IP address. username and password is usually admin for both.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

It have to depend on what country are you from and where are you flying to? Some airplanes do have internet service but are only limited to a few countries.

Mac can get virus but is very rare, there are hardly any virus for mac just little trojan or worms here and there. As Apple get more popular, hacker will soon buy a macbook and start exploiting it and soon there will be thousands of mac viruses in a couple of months or a year.

Ok, back to your case. What OS is your friend using? When you plug in the flash drive into your friend PC, it says there is a virus, right? What is the name of the virus?

i need to know some things

1) What is your mac OS version?
2) What is your Norton antivirus version

Download Avsat and scan the flsah drive again when it is plug in to your mac.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Is the application big if yes you might want to add an installer in the dmg file. What do you when you said what you should put in the dmg file.A dmg file basically has nothing inside, only the software installer. The rest like the resources ( see image below ) should be in the app package contents.

jingda 135 Industrious Poster Featured Poster

Cheers:) Good to know that your internet is back to normal. Bye and see you again. Please consider marking this thread as solved too;)
