  • Jumpy scrowl control with mouse.Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer. Problem fixed when I updated to 6. 0.2 but problems returned after about a week.. 0.2

    Jumpy scroll wheel control with mouse. Only with Firefox, not Internet explorer.Even pushing the scroll wheel and trying to adjust for a smooth easy scroll the text stops and starts. Problem fixed itself when I updated to 6. 0.2 from an older version but the problem returned after about a week.. The problems go away when I go to web site and scroll but is back when I return to my home page (mozilla firefox)

    Good post, and glad to hear you had a solid transition. Mine went well too, though I think I beat the rush.
    It's worth noting that the vast and overwhelming majority of headaches people were experiencing were related to download and activation servers (as well as credit check servers for some mobile carriers) being crushed and overwhelmed.
    To give you an idea of just how crushed, here are some numbers. In the last year, something in the neighborhood of 8 million iPhones have been sold. That's just shy of 22,000 per day. So the typical traffic is around 22,000 times a day, someone is hitting the server for update/activation.
    This weekend, Apple sold 1 million iPhones. In other words, 333,333 phones per day. Holy crap!
    As if that wasn't enough, there are 8 million of us out there with the first generation iPhone. Not only do we need to download the new firmware, but we have to install it. The installation process requires hitting the activation server again, to validate the phone. Mind you, not everybody upgraded this weekend, but a few million did. For the sake of argument, we'll assume that's 1 million a day. So, instead of the normall traffic of 22K phones a day, those activation servers got SLAMMED with 1.33 million activations per day.
    It ***** that some people had delays and hiccups and a hard time and everything, but completely understandable. With luck things will run more smoothly from here on out.

  • Mavericks; is Apple never going to do something about its many problems? I've about had it with Mac.

    Mavericks:
    Is Apple never going to do something about Mavericks many problems? I've about had it with Mac and when today's Mavericks update appeared, I declined.
    I updated to Mavericks 6 months ago on my new Macbook Pro and have had nothing but trouble ever since -- despite numerous trips to the Genius Bar. They all act as though It's only my machine yet I'm reading literally hundreds of similar complaints on the Internet. To start:
    1) My machine now "runs" very slow (as in 1980).
    2) Search and Spotlight yield jumbled information.
    3) MAIL and CCONTACTS are near useless with a spinning beachball the norm.
    My Apple store had my machine for 5 days with no loaner! They did a manual rebuild and shrugged their sholders when it still didn't work after all that.
    I have the distinct impression that Time Machine is at the bottom of some of my problems. I've used it to migrate data from my last three machines and I'm seeing some odd stuff from my other machines. In particular, I used an exact Macbook Pro loaned by a client after my last Mac crashed (I was backed up) and I'm seeing their grayed out login ID autoentered when I try to update Imovie and so I cannot log into my apple account.
    I've used Mac since 1995 when the first SE came out and I'm very tech oriented. I can only wonder how frustrated the lay used might be. Any thoughts out there? 

    Supply information about your Mac (guessing is no use)

  • Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

    Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
    I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
    Thanks
    ******BUG******
    Concise problem statement:
    Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. select object
    2. select free transform tool
    3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
    4. start dragging
    5. press ctrl
    Results:
    object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
    Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
    Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
    The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
    Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
    Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

    Thanks Guys,
    Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
    Stephen,
    Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
    Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
    (From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
    "Select one or more objects.
    Select the Free Transform tool .
    Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
    Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
    Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
    (from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
    You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
    Select one or more objects.
    "Do one of the following:
    To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
    To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
    Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
    These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
    Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
    Thanks Again

  • How can I find my apple ID name?  I changed it to something with a typo and now I cannot log in.

    I changed the email account from an old email address to a new email address about a month ago.  I couldn't log back into the account, and when I tried to retrive the password (which I did not change) the website said that no apple ID existed under either the old email or the new email. 
    I then made a second apple ID to be able to talk to customer support.  This is my second, empty, worthless ID with no purchases in it, not the one I'm trying to recover.  I emailed apple support and, after a month of her giving me directions on how to change my second, worthless ID around to the username I wanted, I sent her some screen shots showing that this account was empty and NOT the one I wanted help getting back into or changing.  When she fininally understood the problem, she told me to call apple, who told me to email her.  So now I'm here.
    Have I lost every thing I've bought?  Every single app, song, and season pass?  I mean, all I did was change the email address to something with a typo.

    The following article(s) may help you.

  • Unable to select text in cell with mouse?

    Hi everyone,
    I am not sure where to log this one, let me know if you think there is a better place for this question.
    A user is unable to highlight the text in the cells/input box using her mouse. She could do that last week so something has changed, certainly on her PC. I don't think the problem is purely SAP related as if I use my SAP account when logged on to  her PC, with her AD credentials I get the same problem. When logged on with my AD credentials I don't get the issue.
    Selecting the text using the keyboard by selecting shift+arrows (left or right) works; the text remains hilghlighted. When using the mouse we left click on the left of the text in the cell and hold to highlight the entire text, for example, and let go when reaching the end of the word; at that point the text doesn't remain highlighted.
    I have checked OSS Notes, Microsoft (XP) forums and user setting on the PC (Accessibility options) and so far have not found anything describing the same problem. I woudl apreciate if anyone coudl suggest anything?
    More info: SAP GUI 7.10 Level 14, ERP 6.0 (Support Stack 18), transaction used for testing ME2N but the issue occurs in all cells. OS = XP Pro, Office 2003 SP3 installed (FilterKeys off and "Typing Replaces Selection" ok in Word/Outlook, start up program only Oulook and SAP GUI)
    Thank you
    Coco

    Hi,
    I guess the option "Quick cut and Paste" in SAP GUI was enabled and that the reason when you select any text with mouse it does not highligjted but gets copied automatically. If you dont want this then you can uncheck the tick mark.
    Regards,
    Sharath

  • Please Help!  My 7 year old did something with my display!

    My son was using the computer and did something with the keyboard. This left my display with the areas that should be white...to black. My desktop image and ALL computer images have the graphic look of a "sketch" and what should be red, is blue. the apple logo is orange. When I use my mouse, it creates "boxes" around the icons. I have tried changing resolution, both in display preferences and in the safe mode. When I reboot the computer, I get what the display should be for a moment, then it changes. I have also tried calibrating. Please advise.
    TIA for your time!

    Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences, click on Seeing, drag the Contrast slider all the way to the left and turn off the other options, except for those at the bottom.

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • I've just about had it with Lion

    I've just about had it with Lion.  I am suffering such severe performance problems with it on my iMac that I'm seriously considering either downgrading to Snow Leopard or running Windows 7 in Boot Camp on the box.
    My iMac is a 2.66 GHz iMac Core 2 Duo with 4GB of RAM, which is a decent specification.  I am running the latest, fully patched 10.7.2 version of OS X and the performance is absolutely terrible.  Pretty much every operation of any significance that I perform results in the spinning beach-ball.  Even just switching between things like Firefox and Finder causes major delays.  I have searched high and low on these forums and tried everything, including repairing permissions, etc. and the problem is still the same.
    The problem I think is related to I/O.  All methods of access to the disk is incredibly slow, including USB file transfer, network file transfer, and even moving a file from one part of the disk to another part of the same disk.  The problem is there in Finder and also when doing a file copy using the command line.  I had no such problems with Snow Leopard on the same computer but as soon as I put Lion on there, I lost the entire performance of the machine.  In desperation, I even completely re-formatted my disk and reinstalled Lion and as soon as I started it up, with the factory fresh OS, I had performance issues right from the start.
    The only conclusion I can come to is that Lion does not work well on some older Macs.  I had no idea why, but I know that I am not alone.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than happy to hear them to prevent me from having to downgrade the box, but unless I can fix this then that will have to happen.
    Thanks,
    Ian.

    This 17" Early 2011 MacBook Pro with the fast and blessed Snow Leopard will be my last Mac and this is coming from a Mac user from day one, even before with the Apple IIe.
    I don't like Lion because of the direction Apple is taking OS X and it's UI changes, Internet installs etc.
    Apple needs to learn what happened to Ubuntu when it mandated Unity UI and didn't give Linux users choice like they once had, they all flocked to Linux Mint instead.

    A lot of people don't know but EFI (the firmware in Mac's) was designed by Intel for the chief purpose of Digital Rights Management, basically standing between the operating system and the hardware and watching everything going on, reporting it over the Internet, stoping the OS calls to the hardware to play back media etc.

    It's not like the old firmware of old, it's really a whole operating system unto itself. Programs can be installed in EFI, in fact I do so with rEFIt, which allows my Mac's to triple and quad boot other operating systems. (note, won't work reliably with Lion only Snow Leopard, requires updating)
    http://refit.sourceforge.net/
    Intel also designed Thunderbolt, so I'm suspectign there is some sort of DRM scheme going on with Thunderbolt monitors.
    If Apple mandated DRM checking in Lion, naturally if you've got EFI taking up more processor cycles, that's going to slow your machine down.
    Also you might not know this, but for Early 2011 Mac's when Apple rolled out Lion, there was a series of Mac bricking EFI firmware updates. I had a bad suspicion and didn't apply the updates, becaue I frankly don't need Lion internet Recovery. So I'm suspecting there is a WHOLE lot of monkey business going on in EFI recently as Apple exerts more control in this area.

    Lion added more bloat that makes older hardware slower, it's been tested Lion is slower than Snow Leopard. It's how Apple gets you to upgrade hardware, by bloating down the OS and programs.
    I've tried Lion on a 15" Intel Core 2 Duo MBP and reverted it back to Snow Leopard. Slow downs, video issues etc.
    I don't recommend installing Lion other than on Early 2011 Mac's and later.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I am more than happy to hear them to prevent me from having to downgrade the box, but unless I can fix this then that will have to happen.
    You did a fresh install, that would have cured any performance issues with defragmentation or bad install.
    You can't upgrade your hard drive in iMac's to 7,200 RPM, because Apple has placed proprietary something on it for heat monitoring, so your screwed there for buying a closed box.
    So yes, upgrade to 10.6.8 and remain there on that machine, there is nothing you can really do.
    Welcome to the crowd.
