Aggrivating

i wuz editing my profile on iChat and it said it was too long, but it really isnt, because i have put longer before

Hi,
Have you included and characters in any Plain text links you have put in.
Also if you have formatted the Font or Colour then this gets counted although it does not show in iChat itself.
It does seem that it was longer in earlier versions of Tiger.
In Panther it was always done with an Add-on or AIM for Mac or something like AdiumX
(some of those still apply)

  • Can't turn off default alarm. Aggrivating!

    I have my iCal set up to sync with Google Calendar because of my Droid. I have 6 calendars, and by default iCal adds new events to my Google "personal" calendar. This is fine.
    What is not fine is that any time I create a new event I find myself stuck with a blasted Email Alert and Message Alert. I do not want them!
    I've gone into preferences, I've checked the box next to "turn off all alarms"... if I create an event and I create it under, say my "Work" calendar, then the alerts don't show up - they don't exist. That's what I want! Just for some reason I cannot set up my stupid default "Personal" calendar to create an event without setting up alerts.
    Help!

    Ok, this can be ignored now. When I made my post I found a similar topic and it linked me here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11546885?messageID=11546885&amp%3b#1154688 5
    It wasn't an iCal issue at all, it was Google. All fixed! No more blasted alerts that I don't want/need!

  • Starting to get aggriva

    Let me start by saying hello...
    I just bought a Zen Touch 40GB....trying to do a little transferring in the Creative Mediasource, but in the source window it doesnt display my player...how can I fix this so I can start transferring?
    TIA

    wizegi,
    Did you install the application/driver from the CD or did you just downloaded Mediasource from the internet for the installation? If you only downloaded MediaSource from the net, make sure you download and install the 'Creative Zen and NOMAD Jukebox plugin 2.00.9 for Creative MediaSource' also.

  • ICloud webmail slow scrolling aggrivations

    I'm a PC user with an iPhone who isn't on the go all the time so while at home I check my mail online at icloud.com from my PC using Firefox. Click on a new mail and it takes forever to scroll down through the email! Attempting to click on the tiny narrow scroll bar is annoying to say the least.
    How can I change this so my mail scrolls normally.. like every other website, webmail, mail client, etc out there.

    Thanks and I did leave feedback however was an explaination ever made for such a stupid change? I'd love to hear how making me/us have to scroll with my mouse wheel button 50 times for a simple 2 page email makes my experience better. I actually sat back for a few minutes and really tried to think of any good reason and, well, it's just lost on me.
    If there is a valid reason someone please let me know. I can't believe something this annoying isn't posted about more often. I certainly hope its fixed or at least we can opt for regular scrolling in the settings and soon. If not unfortunately I may have to look elsewhere. Hope I don't have to.

  • IPod Mini Aggrivation (Doesn't Show Up AT ALL)

    I've read a couple of the other complaints on the Mini...but I just want an answer for mine. In actuality, it is my sister's iPod...and she can't fix it so I tried. She tried to update it on the updater and after that everything went wrong. The folder with the exclamation point came up so I tired to reset it. Nope. Then I put it into disk mode. I plugged it into my computer (everything on my computer is fully updated including iTunes) and it doesn't register anywhere. I followed some of the steps about going into the disk managment and that wasn't too clear. I just want it to show up so I can restore it! >_<
    Oh, and when I went to the iPod updater it froze.
    And this may be irrelavent, but every now and then my computer is telling me that it found spyware and blocked it...Win/Pcast. ::shrug::
    HELP!

    This is more or less the solution. I've made a backup of my music collection at another harddisk. Then I trashed the whole iTunes library and renewed it from my back-up. Next step is to reset the iPod (hold button in centre and below at the same time). Then restore the iPod-software and sync it with iTunes. I did this 2 days ago and my iPod is still back in the land of the living. So thank you very much Tamzon.

  • Lock-ups/freezes - Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT

    Hi all, I have been the owner of a MacBook Pro since August or so. My problem is that when working with my MacBook Pro, occasionally the display freezes up. Sometimes it recovers, sometimes the machine refuse to recover. If I listen to iTunes, I hear the music playing on in the background, which indicates that this is an issue with the graphics chip, and not the computer in general.
    I have searched the Internet, and it seems I am not the only one who has issues with the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT. According to slashdot.org, Apple acknowledges that this may be an issue (http://apple.slashdot.org/apple/08/10/11/1518246.shtml).
    Have anyone else experienced these kinds of issues, and if you did, how did you solve them?

    Hello! I am feeling a little more secure now that there have been quite a few posts about the poor preformance of the nVidia cards in the SR Macbook Pros, its comforting to know this isn't an isolated issue. I've gone as far as contacting Apple to let them know of the poor preformance. They've were, as usual, very nice and as helpful as they are allowed to be. Currently, I have a replacment on the way apparently, my original was deemd DOA I believe. However, it seems at the time all we can do is report our issues to Apple. My main concern is the legnth of time these machines have been out, and the amount of units sold to unknowing customers who are being sold on what Apple is marketing as a strong feature of the machines: the graphics card. When in reality, the card is extraordinary, the preformance in OSX is extremely poor. It is up to us as consumers to let Apple know how aggrivated we are.
    Please, take the time and send your responses and feelings to Apple. You can do that here:

  • Adobe Bridge Auto-Start when Flash Card plugged in

    If this is the wrong forum, my appoligies....
    I am using Adobe Photoshop CS2 with Max OS X 10.4.8 on a PowerBook. When I plug in a flash card reader (with a card) than Adobe Bridge automatically starts and this is not what I want - I just want to open the Finder.
    I have searched through all the preferences I can think of and can't find anything relavent.
    I have had Photoshop Elements and Adobe Lightroom installed at various times but they are all currently uninstalled.
    This is a real aggrivation. Can anyone shed any light on the problem?
    Thanks
    Bill Plunkett

    In that case, try going to your user>library>Application Support>Adobe>bridge folder and move Adobe Bridge Opener Preferences.xml to the trash. Does that help? (Don't empty the trash, because if it doesn't do anything, you might as well put it back again.)
    EDIT meant to say Application Support rather than preferences

  • Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT issues

    I have the latest 17" MBP with the Nvidia GeForce 8600M GT and 10.5.1. When I try to render out quicktime movies in Shake in ProRes or Uncompressed I simple get coloured noise with a shadow of the image underneath. It will however render out in animation codec. I have all the latest updates for the macbook and FCS2. When I took this shake script into my older dual 2Ghz G5 tower it rendered fine. I have heard murmurs of crap drivers written by Apple for this graphics card which I feel might be causing this problem. Can anyone tell me more? Any way of getting driver updates. I am working on a job and this is definitely a problem. Solutions please!

  • 8300 Freeze and Crash While on Phone

    I've had my 8300 since February or so and for the last several months it's been doing this thing where I am talking to someone, when suddenly they get cut off.  The screen is usually black at this point (because I wasn't using it anyways) but the red light at the top flashes a few times (though I don't necessarily have any messages), then the screen lights up and I get a turning hourglass.  This will stay like this for anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes, during which I cannot do anything (turn it off, even taking the battery out doesn't fix it, as it returns to doing it when I put the battery back in) aside from activate Caps, Alt, or Num Lock (not that those do any good, of course).  When it's done doing this, the Blackberry logo comes up and my home screen appears, giving me a message reading "Verifying Security Software".  After this, I can use the phone, but it doesn't have the memory of the previous call (in other words, it doesn't show up in my recent call list, nor does it remember who the last person I called was in my address book).
    These freeze ups don't happen regularly at all, they're entirely random and I know I'm not accidentally pressing anything to cause it.
    I've called tech support at both Blackberry and my service provider, neither of which were much help.  Even talking with the people I bought the phone from, they didn't have any idea what the problem was. 
    One tech support guy did ask me what my memory usage was like and he said it was fine, so it's not that the call is overloading it or something.
    Any ideas?  I will GREATLY appreciate any help, as you might image this is really really aggrivating.  Thanks!

    Mine does the same thing too..... screen goes black.  Often during a call but sometimes when using the browser or other applications.  After a few minutes the watch glass comes on and it basically reboots.  It seems to recover faster if I plug it in????? Although it still comes back without being plugged....and starts working again. So I don't think it is a battery issue unless the battery is losing charge for a few seconds.
    I am on Rogers in Canada. 
    I reloaded the software and applications. It did not solve the problem.
    It started happening when my 8310 Curve was about 1.5 years old.  It was occasional at first. Once every week or two. Now it happens 2 or 3 times per day.
    When I reloaded everything from scratch, I did not install any 3rd party applications or restore any databases.  It did not fix the problem.
    Only thing left to try is a new battery. Don't want to waste $50 bucks on a new battery if the hardware is faulty. Rather just buy a new phone.

  • Contacts in wrong area?

    Hey guys, 
    My dad just got the new blackberry torch and he was extremely aggrivated because he couldn't edit any of his contacts. I took a look for him and noticed that his contacts folder was empty. His contacts show up when he presses the green button on the left (the one you'd normally press to get to your call log).
    Basically, all his contacts are listed under some area of his call log, therefore you cannot choose to SMS any of them or edit the contacts.
    I hope this question made sense to someone. He is really frustrated with the phone, so I thought Id post a question to see if anyone could help. Thanks!

  • Why does firefos set my homepage to google when I reopen it after it crashes when I had yahoo set as my homepage?

    when I'm using my computer, Firefox will sometimes crash. When I re-open it, it will no longer have the homepage that I saved, but will instead have Google saved as my homepage. This is aggrivating because I then have to go back and rest my homepage, and all of the tabs that I had set to open up automatically. It does this EVERy time it crashes.

    It sounds like you have a third party program that has taken over your search engine, home page, and/or the default new tab page. Fortunately, this can be remedied easily:
    # At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button (Tools menu in Windows XP), and then click Add-ons. The Add-ons Manager tab will open.
    # In the Add-ons Manager tab, select the Extensions panel.
    # Select the toolbar you wish to remove.
    # Click the remove button.
    # Click "Restart now" if it pops up. Your tabs will be saved and restored after the restart.
    After Firefox restarts, install the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset Tool]. This will remove the rest of the traces of this program from your Firefox.
    For further information, please read [[Remove a toolbar that has taken over your Firefox search or home page]].
    Did this fix the problem? Please let us know!

  • Please help find driver, at the end of my rope with this ca

    I purchased a used soundcard from a computer repair shop near here a few months back. The sound card did not come with an installation CD. So i was pretty much left on my own to find drivers for it. Ive got a good many years experience building pcs so i figured this wouldnt be a problem. How WRONG i was lol. After being unable to find drivers for it originally I finally gave up and put the card in a static protection bag i had laying around and havent thought about it much since then just counted it as a loss. Now im back at it trying again to find drivers to get this card to work.
    The following is every bit of information i feel applicable to this sittuation, however if anymore infos needed please let me know and ill try to provide it.
    My operating system= windows XP with SP2
    The following is off the card itself. (which says its a creative sound blaster Li've!)
    Theres an inkstamp on the uppper left hand corner of the non chipset side that reads
    32AMN08B 853
    94v-0 k
    (backwards RJ looking symbol)e9697 3999
    Serial number= m48309402990
    Model number= CT4830
    Steps i've taken so far are i originally went to the creative search function and looked for the drivers on their site it gave me a link to two files which i downloaded.
    This is the link where i downloaded the following files
    http://us.creative.com/support/downloads/download.asp?MainCategory=&nRegionFK=&nCountryFK=& nLanguageFK=&sOSName=Windows+XP&region=&Product_Na me=Li've%2&Product_ID=4857&modelnumber=&driverlang =033&OS=0&drivertype=0&x=26&y=
    And this of course is the two files i got.
    . Li'veDrvPack_Patch.exe
    2. Li'veDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe
    File number one has a warning as follows:
    (This is an update patch, it is not a complete driver installation. You must have the previous Li'veDrvPack.exe (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US), posted July 7,2002. in your system if you wish to use this patch.)
    Ive searched the site i cant find this file (SBLW-XPWEB-W3-US) after searching through the forums a bit i found this thread http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=25677&vie w=by_date_ascending&page=
    Which had lists of ISOs for all the different installation CDs. I downloaded everything i seen on filefront (http://hosted.filefront.com/BadBoyforum) badboy had posted that had LIVE in the name. These include the following ISOs.
    . SB Audigy & Li've!.iso
    2. SB Li've! 5. (SB0228).iso
    3. SB Li've! 5. (SB0229).iso
    4. SB Li've! 24bit.iso
    I mounted each image in daemon tools and attempted to install and recieved the following error
    ERROR= Setup could not detect any sound blaster audio card on your system. Please ensure that your sound blaster hardware is properly installed before running this setup program. Setup will now exit.
    Im kindve at a loss as how to proceed. Ive tryed looking through driverguide.com and a few other generic driver sites without much luck. If anybody at all has any suggestions on this id be very appreciati've. Like i said its a used card so it could be an OEM but it appears to be an ODM but who knows im by no means an expert on all this. I may have missed one of the LIVE isos off that filefront site but i dont think so. The only one i see thats left is the external one and its an internal card so i dont see how that could be right.

    okay well i tryed the patching method on all of the isos i had after extracting them.
    I patched it and it said it was successful. when i ran each successi've setup it still didnt detect any soundblaster hardware.
    I also went to compaq and tryed a driver i found there without any luck. Im thinking at this point it is an OEM
    Although i still dont understand how you got compaq from the model number, im going to continue looking around their site.
    Maybe ill luck out but so far im about to the point im ready to throw this @#$%@%#@$@##@$#@$% thing away lol.
    Im looking on driver guide now again. :Sighs This is so aggrivating Normally i wouldnt have bought a card without the drivers but
    my wifes the one that got it and she didnt know. Oh well......
    You can get the model information from here.
    You can also try by installing kX drivers -> if kX package don't get installed, your card may have some problems.

  • Explorer.exe hangs on resolution changes

    I seem to have to have a very persistant, very reproducable and very annoying problem with explorer.exe just completely "hanging" frequently. This started happening near the end of November, about a month after I used Windows 7 (professional x64) with no problems. To make a long story short, it happens nearly any time my display changes (resolution or anything else).
    Here's a more detailed description:
    Before late November, everything worked perfectly. I don't recall what could have caused the change. I uninstalled anything I installed during or after November. I do not have anything visible on my desktop. However, any time the resolution changes, explorer.exe hangs using 50% of my cpu, or 100% of one core. Clicking on the taskbar or desktop lets me know that "Explorer.exe has stopped responding", allowing me to restart it, which I occasionally also choose to do via Process Explorer. At first, I only noticed during or after playing games, but now I have tested this thoroughly and determined that it is in fact most likely a display problem, concluded from the following pretty exhaustive list:
    Unplugging my external monitor causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Plugging in my external monitor also does.
    Changing resolutions on either monitor, to any resolution, causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Changing resolutions on the internal monitor while the external monitor is unplugged also causes a hang.
    Uninstalling the ATI display drivers causes a hang.
    Changing resolutions with the default Windows display drivers between 800x600 and 1024x768 (the only two options) causes a hang. (Uninstalled and followed with Driver Sweeper so no trace of the ATI display drivers are available and the display is running purely on Windows defaults.)
    Installing updated ATI drivers causes a hang directly after the resolution is changed automatically.
    Unchecking all options in the "Perfermance Options" causes explorer.exe to hang.
    Unchecking all options but leaving visual styles on does not result in a hang (if it was on to start with).
    Turning off visual styles causes the display to blink briefly before displaying the "Please wait" box and, when it is finished and the desktop is displayed again, explorer.exe has been hanging approximately since the display blink.
    Running games that cause the resolution to change usually cause explorer.exe to hang, but not always. This is particularly odd. Opening the simple game Torchlight in full screen at 1280x800, does not pose a problem; however, Alt-Tabbing out of it causes the hang as well as closing it, which both revert the resolution to the desktop resolution (1920x1200). Running the game in a window is no problem. Running the game in full screen at 1920x1200 is also no problem, regardless of starting, using Alt-Tab or closing, even though the display blinks for a moment. Team Fortress 2 consistently causes explorer to hang when launching (hanging TF2 as well, until explorer has been killed). All goes well while TF2 is running, even with explorer restarted. When TF2 is closed, explorer hangs again. Thus, it always causes explorer to hang, whether opening or closing. In windowed mode, it causes no problems. I can give examples of a number of more games if it helps pinpoint the problem.
    The event viewer shows no errors or warnings after a hang (except for the standard ones that are generated if the "Explorer.exe has stopped responding" dialog shows up by clicking on the taskbar or desktop. If it is killed manually before showing the dialog, nothing shows up.) It does log some information specific to ATI functions in the ACEEventLogSource which seem to be specific to an explorer freeze. No information was generated when Torchlight changed resolutions without a resulting hang but the following was generated upon closing, with an explorer hang:

    Disabling all non-Microsoft Shell extensions (with ShellExView x64) didn't help.
    As of writing, I have the feeling it didn't happen in safe-mode but I would need to retest this to make sure.
    A clean boot yields no improvement. Changing the resolution following a clean boot still results in a hang.
    Using Process Explorer, I have also checked all non-Microsoft DLL's running in conjunction with Exlporer.exe and these were only db's (some related to BitTorrent), a Comodo antivirus DLL and a bunch of Broadcom Widcomm Bluetooth files. Thus, I uninstalled all of those including the bluetooth software and drivers, unfortunately, to no avail. Changing resolutions still crashes Explorer!
    My system is as follows:
    ASUS M51Va Notebook
    Windows 7 Professional x64
    ATI Radeon HD 3650
    Catalyst Version 09.12
    DirectX Version 11
    Direct3D Version 8.14.10.0716
    OpenGL Version 6.14.10.9232
    Internal monitor Generic PnP Monitor at 1200x800 32bit 61Hz
    External monitor Samsung SyncMaster 2433BW/2433GW, SyncMaster Magic at 1920x1200 32bit 59Hz connected by an HDMI to DVI-D cable
    Anti-virus is Comodo
    If any more information is needed I'll gladly provide it! This is truly a very aggrivating problem. Particularly when gaming or hooking up displays for presentations etc. I really can't think of any thing else that could be meddling with Explorer, causing it to crash. I would love to find the source of the problem, but I'm prepared to finally bite the bullet and reinstall Windows to get rid of this extremely annoying problem. Help would really be appreciated.
    If I figure anything out, I'll post the results.

    Hi Eric,
    I would like to suggest you update the BIOS and the hardware drivers first.
