A list of bugs

I don't know if I'm the only one experiencing this, but Garageband seems to have a bundle of major bugs. Here's some of them;
can't select options in the LCD display, midi-notes hang when clicking on them, midi-notes plays two sounds when clicking only one note, inconsistent values on volume and pan between standard mode and automation mode, JamPack loops often will not play, program generally freeze way to often. And the list goes on and on.
In my opinion, Garageband should be withdrawn from the market. It is not by a long shot ready for release.
Anyone else with the same experience?

No! No third party plug-in. The only thing I have installed extra for music production on this Mac is a USB-driver from M-Audio, for MidiSport 2x2. I know this driver slows down the shutdown process.

  • Spry menu error in EI Disappearing List Background Bug

    I wanted to be able to update the menu once so I made the menu as a library item. At first the menu kept dissapearing in EI, somehow I fixed it so it actually does show up properly now but Dreamweaver is still showing the error " Disappearing List Background Bug in EI" all in the opening of the  <ul> . And now I have also noticed that there is an issue with the first menu, when rolling over the "company tab" it drops down the sub-menu and let you click on "about" it goes to the page but from there when you roll over the menu's they dont change color and they dont show the sub-menu. This work fine if I go to any other menu on that bar exept for the first one. I dont know what to do, and apreciate any help!

  • List of Bugs fixed by ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE 12.0.6 (RUP 6)

    Hi,
    I want to know what are the bugs fixed by ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE 12.0.6 RELEASE UPDATE PACK (RUP6)
    If anybody have list of bugs then please provide me the list of link.
    I already gone through readme of ORACLE E-BUSINESS SUITE 12.0.6 RELEASE UPDATE PACK (RUP6), but I couldn't get any proper list.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Manish.

    Manish,
    The list of patches included in R12 RUP6 is outlined in the following document (with the "Product Family Readme Documents MetaLink IDs").
    Note: 743368.1 - Oracle E-Business Suite Release Update Pack Readme, Release 12.0.6
    https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=743368.1
    You can also refer to "E-Business Suite Release 12 Maintenance Strategy" document which is already referenced in the above document.
    You may also review:
    Note: 404152.1 - E-Business Suite Release 12: Release Content Documents
    https://metalink2.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=404152.1
    If the above does not answer your question, you can log a SR and ask Oracle support to provide you with this list (if possible, since I believe this is documented internally).
    Regards,
    Hussein

  • Listing trounced bugs from Bug Days in the wiki?

    I think it would be pretty cool if, after every bug day (or during it), a list of bugs was made outlining which bugs were solved (and maybe even who was involved in the bug squashing process). This might generate interest and encourage people to take part.
    What do you say?

    I think you can see recently closed bugs on the Bugtracker pages:

  • Where does NI hide the full list of bug fixes? and why is it hidden from users?

    So I get an enticing email begging me to try the august 2009 release of LabVIEW. Ok. I'm twitching with anticipation. I'd like to know if several specific bugs are fixed in a new release of a specific module, however. Otherwise I'd prefer to install it some other time when I'm not busy writing dlls to compensate for the bugs that I hope are now fixed. I've been clicking in circles on the NI website trying to find complete information regarding changes and as is entirely far too typical of NI, I only have access to an anemic, watered down version of what should be proper documentation.
    "LabVIEW Readme—Use this file to learn
    important last-minute information about LabVIEW, including installation
    and upgrade issues, compatibility issues, a partial list of bugs fixed
    in the current version of LabVIEW... bla bla bla"
    Where is the full list of bug fixes? I don't care if it isn't spellchecked or if it's sloppy; I just want the information. The readme you provide for the specific module I'm interested in is ridiculously small. I know darned well you must have changed more than what is listed. So what secret vault do I have to burgle to find the full list of bug fixes? Am I just missing an obvious hyperlink?

    They are locked-up in the Ivory Tower.
    I have been a LabVIEW Champion for about four years and even after signing NDA's I still can't see the full list.
    Seruously, the full list includes probably millions of bugs that NI finds internally before you and I ever see it.
    The best way to handle your situation is to track the CAR's for your bugs. You can call NI support with the CAR number and they can tell you if the bug was fixed and in which version you will find the fix.
    If it has not been fixed you can contact you rlocal NI rep and ask them to look into it for you. They may be able to tell you in which release the fix is scheduled and bump up the priority of the fix if you make a good arguement.
    Just trying to help,

    1. Sound should not be muted every time a user reboots a newer MacBook laptop using Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit. My sound is always muted when I load Windows 7 Ultimate, and I have to manually turn it on each time.
    2. Left and right clicks on the trackpad should work out of the box using Windows 7 Ultimate, 64-bit. My left click operates a little less than 50 percent of the time -- i.e., I click it and nothing happens. I had to switch to "tap to click" as a workaround, however, I prefer the good old solid left click.
    Please step right up and add to the bug report list so that the developers have a checklist of issues that need to be fixed. When the bug report list has grown to a respectable size, I'll send an official letter to the C.E.O. to facilitate the bug reports reaching the development team.

    FWIW, I don't have the symptoms you describe. So I think before you call a symptom a "bug" I think you should confirm that it is indeed a "bug" and not a configuration, software, or hardware issue caused by something such as incorrect installation, incorrect setup, or any other third party or user caused action.
    Also, FWIW, I don't think this forum is intended to be used as a survey for gathering "bugs". Apple has an official feedback page where they gather user experiences such as yours. I think if you post your "bugs" there they will get faster attention than posting them here in this user-to-user help forum.

  • List of bugs fixed in the July 2013 update

    In addition to all the great features in this week’s release, many bugs were also fixed in the July 10th update. Here is a summary:

    Creative Cloud: CC Authentication is not remembered in some cases.

    Mark Mapes wrote:
    I think it's safe to be a little more specific in the case of the CC authentication bug: the fix was specific to manually syncing settings from Premiere Pro.
    Mark, I was going to start a new thread about this but since you brought up sync settings here, I'll ask...
    I just had my assistant editor finally download PPro CC since it's more ready now and I had her sync settings with my uploaded settings. It worked great. The only issue was that my computer is a 27" iMac and her's is a 15" macbook pro so when she started a new project all the windows of her new imported workspace were WAY too huge going way off her smaller screen. Is that normal? Is there a quick fix to that to make it quickly "fit" her screen? It's not the end of the world as it took just a few minutes to drag the windows around to fit, but just curious.
    Thanks for the bug list btw!

  • Calendar 'List view' bug

    I'm still patiently awaiting a fix from Apple (who are apparently aware) for the bug discussed at length in another thread which has now been archived. See here... http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2470805&start=60&tstart=0
    Further to that thread, I have noticed that this problem does not occur when changing entries while connected to my home 3G network.
    When I go abroad I disable Data Roaming and only use Wi-Fi. Changing any appointments then somehow corrupts the dates of nearly all the other appointments but only in List view. All appointments on MobileMe still show correct dates so it is only on the iPhone's List view.
    Whether this is due to being in a different time zone (Time set automatically in Settings) or Wi-Fi, I don't know.
    Please Apple... fix this bug.

    In my Calender I have the same bug. I haven't found any help.

  • List of bugs I've found - 10.5.1

    Hi,
    If I find bugs, do I just post them here? You guys REALLY need a bug tracker. I mean, really... I've been reading a lot of complaints online all over the web about Leopard bugs, and it's really starting to worry me, especially when I see them on Mac forums.
    First, I'm going to list bugs I've found:
    BUG #1: AIRPORT EXTREME BASE STATION:
    This one is really getting on my nerves. I have an Airport Extreme Base Station and I have an external drive plugged in. When I click on my base station in finder, I see "Connected As: Guest". When I click on "Connect As" it gives me "Connecting..." then "Connection failed". It seems that it's not even giving me the choice of typing in a user. To resolve the issue I have to reset my base station, but when I try to connect with another computer same thing happens. I need to reliably get to my network drive, and this is getting ridiculous.
    BUG #2: MAIL TO DO LIST:
    Not entirely sure about this one, but to do list items are not showing up in iCalendar. Also, I don't seem to be able to set the alert option. I see it in the list, but I can't do anything with it.
    This might have been a fluke, or fixed in 10.5.1, but at one point when I changed "Date Due" to something like "Today" on accident, I was unable to change it back to "No Date"
    BUG #3: KEYCHAIN MANAGER
    I keep getting unexpected errors when editing, deleting, and even browsing...
    BUG #4: SPACES
    I had some problems with spaces before the update, which I described in this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1239958&tstart=0
    Doesn't seem to be a problem now, although I remember it working some point before the update as well... I just thought I'd mention it again just incase it's one of those bugs that crops up every once in a while. Was bugging me all day yesterday.
    BUG #5: DOCK
    This happened today... When I clicked on the application in my dock, whether it was open or not, it would reveal the application in finder. I had to "killall Dock" in finder to reload the dock, and then it worked normally again.
    BUG #6: BOOT
    This may not be a bug, but I consider it to be. There is absolutely no boot progress after the grey apple screen. This is important. Please add it back. If something happens during the boot process that causes it to halt, it would be useful to know about where it got stuck, wouldn't it?
    BUG #7: Quicktime & Minimize
    I haven't tried this yet, but I saw it mentioned on one of the mac forums. I was going to test it, but I can't get into my network drive with all my videos on it, due to one of the most annoying bugs mentioned above.
    Basically what was said is when you minimize a QuickTime window with a video playing, it no longer plays in the dock or stops playing (something to that effect). It's one of the things Steve brought out in one of his keynotes. If this was a "feature" that was removed, why in the heck would you remove something like that?
    Now I'm going to make some suggestions:
    SUGGESTION #1: LIGHTER STACKS
    The "stack" shows every single icon on the dock stacked on top of each other. The way stacks works in itself is very productive for me. But having every single Icon graphically on the dock can be a bit slow. I actually notice it stacking up during boot, which is a bit odd. If you must show every single icon, surely you can cache all the icons stacked on top of each other as a single graphic? That way it uses less memory, and boots up a bit quicker. Or even show just one icon of the users choice. My biggest concern is during boot
    SUGGESTION #2: SPACES, FULL SCREEN GAMES
    Be able to use a space for a full screen game without disrupting it. Would be nice if you could have your game on one space, and switch to another to look something up online.
    SUGGESTION #3: SPACES, MORE HOT KEYS
    There's a hot key for activating the spaces selector. How about being able to switch to a certain space via hot key? Like Command-S-> or Command-S<- or Command-S/\ (user definable). That way, knowing the space I want to go to, I can get to it quickly. I'd like to be able to jump to a space without using my mouse.
    Last thing I want to say... I've read a lot of complaints about features being removed from Tiger... Please look into what users are saying is missing and add them back.
    That's all the comments I have for now... It's a bit late. Maybe I'll have more later on.

    This may not be a bug, but I consider it to be. There is absolutely no boot progress after the grey apple screen. This is important. Please add it back. If something happens during the boot process that causes it to halt, it would be useful to know about where it got stuck, wouldn't it?
    I've never seen the boot progress bar in Leopard, but if you want a more verbose boot sequence just hold down Command+V while your computer starts up.

    I can confirm that videos (at least for me) no longer play while in the Dock.

    I've never really had a problem with that - they update very quickly for me.
    There's a hot key for activating the spaces selector. How about being able to switch to a certain space via hot key? Like Command-S-> or Command-S<- or Command-S/\ (user definable). That way, knowing the space I want to go to, I can get to it quickly. I'd like to be able to jump to a space without using my mouse.
    Press Ctrl+<number> to switch to a certain space. (ie: Ctrl+5 switches to space 5)
    Also Ctrl+<arrow> will switch to an adjacent space.
    This is all customizable in the Spaces preference pane.

  • Suggested workaround for list itemrenderer bug?

    Can someone point me in the right direction for a workaround for the problem described as Flex bug 28191:
    https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-28191
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Populate a Tree/List with data and provide a custom itemRenderer class factory.
    2. Change the class factory and dataProvider at the same time.
    3. List.createItemRenderer() will crash during since Factory is the key and it has been changed.
                    delete freeItemRenderersByFactory[factory][renderer];
    Actual Results:
    Crash because the renderer can not be found since it does not exist on that factory dictionary since the class factory was changed and the lookup is using the new factory.
    Expected Results:
    Not crash.
    Seems like a race condition, as sometimes during this process it skips that block of code but in other cases it falls into this block and fails.
    I need to change the data provider and item renderer of a tree control at runtime. Is there one or more methods I should run to prevent this? As the bug notes state, this is an intermittent problem. The error occurs here:
    if (factory == itemRenderer)
                if (freeItemRenderers && freeItemRenderers.length)
                    renderer = freeItemRenderers.pop();
                    delete freeItemRenderersByFactory[factory][renderer];

    Thanks. Actually, I have been updating (not setting or changing) the tree's dataprovider, and then changing the classFactory like this:
    processesXML = event.result as XML;
    nodeTreeData.source = processesXML.children();
    if (treeMultiSelect)
    nodeTree.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(renderers.TreeItemRendererV1);
    nodeTree.allowMultipleSelection = true;
    nodeTree.setStyle("selectionColor", "0xFFFFFF");
    nodeTree.setStyle("disclosureOpenIcon", MinusIcon);
    nodeTree.setStyle("disclosureClosedIcon", PlusIcon);
    else
    nodeTree.itemRenderer=new ClassFactory(mx.controls.treeClasses.TreeItemRenderer);
    nodeTree.allowMultipleSelection = false;
    nodeTree.setStyle("selectionColor", "0x7FCEFF");
    nodeTree.setStyle("disclosureOpenIcon", OpenArrowIcon);
    nodeTree.setStyle("disclosureClosedIcon", ClosedArrowIcon);
    I had tried using validateNow after changing the ClassFactory before but did get the error again. I will try it again but update the data provider after. Since it's an intermittent error I'm finding it hard to know if a fix is really working.

  • Wish list and bug reports?

    In my short acquaintance with xcelsius 2008 (fix pack 2 now) I have come across a number of bugs (not saying how big a number...) and come up with a number of new features suggestions which I consider crucial (sure, maybe noone else does) but I don't know of an offical repository for the above.
    Is there an official bug reporting tool for xcelsius? Where do I go and whige about feature omissions or suggest new ones please?
    THanks a lot
    c

    Wow, that's a real Christmas list. Some of the things you questioned others will have to answer as I've no experience with them, I don't use Pandora or have a Mac. I did check out the website you listed, the site loads just fine, the quicktime movies do not load nor run because you need the quicktime player and it's not compatible with the PB. I doubt if Apple is concerned about this :-).
    As for deleting the music file, go to AppWorld and download the AIR Browser (or other file manger of your choice), it's free, it lets you do almost everything, similar to Windows Explorer, select the file and nuke it. On the languages, it does change the keyboard and if you press and hold a letter that needs a special character that special character will show up in blue, tap it to use it, EX, in Spanish the N will have the Tilde over it. I did have the clicking on the keyboard go away once, did a restart and it's worked ever since. As for removing an App, go to. I just deleted Hotmail and Yahoo mail and it's been about 15 minutes and they've not come back so not sure about slacker. After you deleted them did you click the little check mark on the left in the menu bar to get out of and save the deletion? Some of the other things you mention like Auto Capitalize the first letter needs to be fixed and I bet you see them fixed in V2. It ain't perfect but I love it still. You might get better responses to an issue by listing only one per post and putting it in the subject line, then someone who is familiar with that issue will be more likely to see it and respond. Also check the previous posts and knowledge base for answers to a lot of questions. Hope this helps

  • Mail 7.0 - "Get Account Info" listing - a bug?

    I very frequently use the "Get Account Info" listing (via the 'gearwheel' at the bottom of the Maibox list) to remove unnecessary mail from the server to save downloading it yet again to my wife's little G4 iBook. However, with Mavericks they seem to have messed up the window as the listing now has no order and I'm unable to set it to any order - I prefer date - although it sometimes lists as size in descending order. A bug?

    No luck, unfortunetly.  I've even restarted the whole computer.  They are usually still there, and sometimes, even older messages that I deleted from the drafts folder a long time ago, reappear as well.  I've also deleted the account from Mail and set it up from scratch several times hoping that would work, but it failed as well.

  • E6-00 FM radio channel listing reordering bug

    I have found that if you let the phone do a scan of all FM radio stations.
    Then try to use the functionality to move/re-arrange the order of the list.  That the listing get confused really easily.  This is especially problematic when moving a channel to the first or last entry in the list.
    It is difficult to explain how it messes up.  But should be easy enough to re-create if you are in a location with 10 local stations (like I am) and you try to re-arrange 3 or more entries including moving entries to a new position (from middle) to be first or be last.
    The work around I found is that when moving an entry to/from the first or to/from the last position, to come out of the channel selection screen, maybe exit the application and go back in.  The move you did was effective (ebven if the indicate order turned out to not be what you expected).  But by leaving the application and coming back in you find it corrects itself.
    This is a very minor issue but I'd thought I'd raise is here maybe Noka will see and try themselves and raise a bug ticket internally.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.
    Perre wrote:And if I try to play the m3u file created (the one with every song listed) through freevo I get a message that the directory is empty. What am I doing wrong??
    Look at save_absolute_paths_in_playlists in your mpd.conf.

  • IPhoto 09 - BIG LIST OF BUGS I'VE FOUND

    I’ve been using IPhoto 08 for 10 months with no issues whatsoever.
    Installed IPhoto 09 yesterday and have loads of issues. Thought it would be useful to share these. There's a lot to read, so thanks for reading if you get to the end.
    BACKGROUND
    As some background, I have a 2.8GHz IMac with 4GB RAM. First I uninstalled my third party Flickr uploader. Then rebooted and checked it had gone. Then installed all available updates via software update. Then rebooted. Then checked for all available updates via software update again. Then logged onto my Flickr pro account via Safari and deleted all of my photos on Flickr. Then rebooted. Then installed ILIfe 09.
    It took about an hour scanning my photos for faces.
    FACES
    1. Initial observations – it’s very good and clever, but it does miss a lot of faces. Also when you’re clicking to confirm, or double-clicking to to decline, it would be good if you could say “no, it’s not Maria as you’ve guessed, actually it’s Sandra”, rather than just double-clicking to say “no it’s not Maria” (and then effectively losing the Sandra opportunity!)
    2. After the initial dump of faces, I then tried importing 50 brand new photos directly into IPhoto 09. It then didn’t pick up any of the faces, so I had to go in manually adding the faces. Any reason for this?
    3. After a couple of hours, on my corkboard I had 30 faces. An hour later, without me having added any more faces, suddenly I’ve got 25 faces. No idea where the missing 5 went. I then went about creating 3 of the missing 5 faces, taking me to 28 faces. An hour later, suddenly I’ve got about 35 faces! When I looked at the corkboard, some of my faces had been duplicated. For example, there were now 2 Rachel’s on my corkboard. When I clicked on one of them, it told me I had 8 pictures of Rachel, and then showed me the 8 pictures. When I clicked on the other, it told me I had 2 pictures of Rachel, but when I drilled down, no pictures of Rachel were displayed, even though there was supposed to be 2…!! Incidentally – on the cork board, where I now had 2 Rachel’s, the ‘key photo’ for both Rachel’s was the same photo. I then deleted all my duplicates. So all in all, a bit flakey!
    4. I then had a go at entering the email addresses of some of my faces, but when clicking on the info button on the face, the 3D animation which then follows to allow you to enter the details went very slowly. When I tried to overtype “enter email address” with the email address, it kept refusing the email address and reverted to “enter email address”. The only way to fix this was to reboot.
    FACEBOOK
    1. When pressing the export to facebook button, it asks for an account credentials. I supplied my own credentials. It then happily exported 30 photos. When I logged onto Facebook to have a look, it had correctly tagged Brad in 5 pictures, Maria in 3 pictures and Rachel in 8 pictures. HOWEVER, for the 8 Rachel pictures, it only identified 3 out of those 8 as Rachel on Facebook, the other 5 just being Rachel. Hope that makes sense! This is definitely a bug, as Rachel’s email address was entered on the corkboard before I pressed the facebook button, therefore all 8 should have been identified as Rachel on Facebook. I even tried overtyping her email address on the corkboard and then re-syncing with Facebook, but it made no difference. I deleted the album and re-exported it with no difference.
    2. I then tried switching accounts, so after pressing the facebook button, entered my wife’s username and password for facebook, to see if IPhoto supported multiple facebook accounts. Even though it accepted my wife’s credentials, it still then says “you are about to publish to Brad’s facebook account” and ignores my wife’s credentials.
    MAPS
    1. When trying to manually enter location information it tells me I’m not connected to the internet, when clearly I am, and can use IPhoto Facebook exporter, use Google Maps via Safari, etc.
    FLICKR
    1. I tired highlighting multiple events. I then pressed the flickr button. I was a bit disappointed that when the load gets to flickr, it is merged as one event (aka ‘flickr SET’). So to upload multiple events, I’ll have to do them one at a time. Ah well, never mind.
    2. I’ve now uploaded 3 sets to flickr. However, every time I start IPhoto, the sync icons start turning next to every set on the flickr section on the left hand side of IPhoto (even if I'm not interested in doing anything with Flickr). This makes the operation of IPhoto slow. This will mean trouble when I'm up to 100 flickr sets!!!
    3. I've downloaded a 4th set to flickr containing 300 photos. All was well and the photos are on flickr. Then an hour later, it proceeded to delete the Flickr set, so that now it says “(0)” after the flickr set rather than "(300)". Clicking on the name of the flickr set displays no photos! However, when I log onto flickr direct, the 300 photos are actually there. After a reboot, IPhoto insists there are still zero photos in the set, and there is no icon next to the set (to re-sync with flickr), like there is with my other 3 sets. So what do I do now? All I can think of is deleting via Flickr and uploading all 300 photos again!
    STABILITY
    1. Random crashing. The beachball appears after doing certain things and won't go away. I then have to force-quit. This is the first time I've ever had to use force-quit in my 10 months of being a Mac user.
    2. Slowness. The application eventually grinds to a virtual halt after a few hours. The animations go slow, typing in text gets ignored, and eventually I have to reboot.

    iPhoto has a new Web preference pane and in it is an option to check for newly published photos. I don't know if it checks you filckr acco
    unt or must Mobileme but you might set the option to check manually and see if some of the strange behavior goes away. It probably will increase iPhoto's speed if it's not checking online all the time.
    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 versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.
