ALARM - why is it an hour later, rather than an hour earlier?

Does anybody know why the alarm is going off an hour late - I would have thought if anything, it should go off an hour early? My alarm used to go off at 7am each day - 7am has now become 6am, and yet the alarm is going off at 8am (which was 9am previously). So if it's working from an internal clock which hasn't changed, my alarm is now going off 2 hours later than a couple of days ago, for no reason! Hope this makes sense?! I might just be being stupid here, but this is really annoying me and I can't find any reason for it anywhere - people just keep saying, 'the iphone thinks it's still BST' but surely that would make the alarm go off an hour earlier?

If there was no adjustment made for the time change it would have gone off early. Probably two programers, working independently, put in adjustment code in different places. Either one of the adjustments would have been correct, but both together made it off one hour in the other direction.
A fix is on the way.

Alarm clock sometimes going off hour early.

I was under the impression that this alarm clock bug was only affecting people in other countries after daylight savings. However, it is happening to me in Chicago right now!
I noticed this yesterday when an alarm I use everyday, woke me up an hour early. it just did the same thing again today. I tried to "trick" it by setting an alarm this morning for an hour later, but strangly it went of at the time I actually set it for.
Anyone else having this problem in the USA?

Yes, since last weekend, an alarm is now going off an hour early every day. Hope you get an answer.

Why is my iPhone called "iPhone" rather than my name ex: Cynthia's iPhone?

I recently had my iPhone 5s replaced and the replacement phone's name is just "iPhone" rather than personalized with my name, such as "Cynthia's iPhone"
As a matter of fact my old defective iPhone 5s was only referred to as "iPhone" also. If anyone knows why this is I would appreciate the help. My old backups (from my old iPhone) are still listed in iTunes and are referred to as Cynthia's iPhone, but new phone is just called iPhone?
Thanks for your help.

Why use Protected Overide Sub OnPaint rather than the standard Paint_Event ?

I notice many good programmers use this following method rather than the usual Paint_Event when painting to the form.
Protected Overrides Sub OnPaint(e As PaintEventArgs)
Dim g As Graphics = e.Graphics
g.SmoothingMode = Drawing2D.SmoothingMode.HighQuality
g.InterpolationMode = Drawing2D.InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic
MyBase.OnPaint(e)
End Sub
Can anybody share the reasons why? Thanks

OK Crazypennie, maybe you are right. I tend to rant on a bit sometimes.
Also, maybe the jumpy graphics is made worse because the animation output is not synced with the video hardware refresh rate. We can get around that slightly by using a very high fps.
Hi Leon,
I tried modifying your code using a GraphicsFrame class that I wrote a little while back, the class utilizes the bufferedcontext/bufferedgraphics, instead of using the forms graphics directly. In theory, all objects should be rendered to the buffer before
the forms graphics object. Is this less glitchy/faster on your pc? It seemed less glitchy/faster on mine..., and previous benchmarks show that using buffered graphics in this manner improved render time.

this thread.

Why does browser download a file rather than displaying it?

I am using a Nexus 7 device. I have a website locally on the device together with all of the data files. When I use the browser to select a file it does not need to download it. I want it to call up a list of the programs that can display the file so that I can select which app to use. When I leave that app then I expect it to go back to the browser and the HTML web page I was previou. sly viewing. It has done that at various times but has stopped now. How do I get it to resume displaying the files rather than downloading them onto the same device?

Why are MediaPlayer callbacks all Runnables rather than EventHandlers?

Every other API in JavaFX with event processing callbacks implements EventTarget and allows EventHandlers to be registered to handle events.
However the MediaPlayer does not implement EventTarget and callbacks for things which look like they should be events (e.g. onPlaying, onStopped, onPaused) are handled by registering a Runnable.
Why is MediaPlayer different? Are there any extra considerations which need to be taken into account when programming the MediaPlayer?
For instance, in code such as this (from forum post How can I solve the error "media corruption error"? =>
mpLogo.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
    mpLogo.stop();
    mediaView.setMediaPlayer(mpSaludo);
    mpSaludo.play();
    root.getChildren().remove(grupo2);
});Is the runnable always guaranteed to be run on the JavaFX Application thread? or should you wrap the code in a Platform.runLater call to ensure that the actions manipulating active scene graph objects taken on end of media only happen on the JavaFX Application thread?
mpLogo.setOnEndOfMedia(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
    Platform.runLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run() {
        mpLogo.stop();
        mediaView.setMediaPlayer(mpSaludo);
        mpSaludo.play();
        root.getChildren().remove(grupo2);
});

I don't know, I think this is an error. I know that there was one part of the media APIs that was called very frequently (the stuff related to histograms) that we didn't use events, but this most certainly should have been events. Dang. If I could find it in email history there must be something on it, but looking at it here I was both surprised and shocked that this one slipped through (since I don't know under what circumstance it would have made sense to use a Runnable here). In fact at first I thought maybe you were looking at some old code (before I knew it was you who posted).
OK, suppose we all agree this was an error and we need to fix this. What to do? We can deprecate all these methods, but the new methods we'd want to supply would then have the wrong names. We could introduce a proper Event subclass for this and also a special EventHandler which also implements Runnable, just so it can be reused here. We'd then deprecate the methods and just change the hierarchy when we JSR the thing?
I'm not sure how to recover, any other ideas?

Is it possilbe to save pdfs to a variable to be used later, rather than saving to a file?

I am contiuing from an unresolved thread I done ages ago@
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/574764?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true
The point of interest is this:
Folks, I don't see anyone suggesting one feature that may help here. You don't really need to create files with these CFPDF* tags if you don't want to.
For instance, as seems Paule's issue, if one tag creates something that then another would use (as his CFPDFFORM result then being flattened), you can use the NAME attribute (instead of destination) to indicate a variable to hold the output of an earlier step, and then use that variable in the SOURCE of a later step.

Im trying to do something like this:
<cfpdfform source="#source#" name="test2" action="populate" overwrite="yes" >
    <cfpdfformparam name="1" value="1">
</cfpdfform>
<cfmail type="html" to="[email protected]"
                from="wd" subject="hi"
                        mimeattach="#test2#"
however I get the error:
The resource coldfusion.pdf.PDFDocWrapper@e9055b was not found.
any ideas cf experts???

Why does mtab show /dev/root rather than the partition mounted on /

Sorry if I have missed something I should have read, but can anybody explain please why my mtab no longer contains a reference to the actual partition which is mounted as root. I have:
/dev/root / ext3 rw,relatime,errors=continue,data=writeback
but no reference to the partition.
TIA

It's related to this by the looks of it (see the links in post #6). /etc/mtab is created by copying what's in /proc/mounts.

Can I transfer data from one iphone to another (but later rather than at the same time)

I currently have an Iphone 4 that was provided through my company but I am changing employment next month (as well as country) and was hoping to store all my current iphone software and data (hopefully on my computer) and then purchase a new Iphone 4 in which to update with said data.
If anyone can offer insight in how to accomplish this I would be grateful!

if the iphone have not been synced with another computer then just sync it with yours
if it have then you cant syncing it with your computer would then clear the iphone and adding the info from your itunes to it

Reasons why to use Iterator for List rather than for loop ?

when i use the iterator and for loop for traversing through the list. it takes the same time for iterator and also for for loop. even if there is a change it is a minor millisecond difference.
what is the actual difference and what is happening behind the traversing list through iterator
if we are using we are importing extra classes ...if we are using for loop there is no need to import any classes

If you have an array-backed collection, like an ArrayList, then the difference between using an iterator and get() will be negligible.
However, if you have a linked list, using get() is O(n^2) whereas iterator is O(n).
So with an iterator, regardless of what your underlying data structure, a list of 100,000 elements takes 1,000 times as long to iterate over as a list with 100 elements. But using get() on a LinkedList, that same 100,000 element list will take 1,000,000 times as long as the 100 item list.
There's no real benefit to ever using get()
Side note: I've been comparing iterators to get(), not iterators to for loops. This is because whether it's a for or a while has nothing to do with whether you use an iterator or get(). The way I use iterators is for (Iterator iter = list.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) {
Foo foo = (Foo)iter.next();
}

When will Apple let us delete our purchaces rather than hiding them?

Its kinda stupid that they do this... If i had a stupid app i dont want anyone to know about ever why cant i just delete it rather than hide it?

AstroDude,
Currently the Purchase History functions as a history, and like any history you can hide things in your past but you cannot delete them.
If you would like to make a suggestion to Apple, you can use the Feedback page:

Why don't we list model number with this information rather than the month the model was released?
e.g. MacBook 2,1 or 5,2 or whatever.

Generally, Apple refers to it's systems by what part of the year they are released, ie early - mid - late. Some people do provide the model number when they post questions, however, generally, the time of year and year released equals the model number.

Why full, rather than incremental, when re-starting TIme Machine

I had to stop Time Machine a couple of weeks ago, and remove the dedicated external drive. Yesterday, on reconnecting the drive and re-starting Time Machine it appeared to try to make a full backup (which I had to abort after two and a half hours) rather than the incremental I assumed it would make. Does this mean that each time one turns Time Machine off, it will make a full back up the next time it is restarted and an external drive connected? This seems to make irrelevant the backups already on the drive.

V.K. wrote:
I'm not completely sure but I think if you don't do a TM backup for ten days TM gives you a warning that you haven't backed up in 10 days and if you ignore it, it erases TM history. this makes it start a new series of backups once you reconnect.
I use my G5 rarely, sometimes not for weeks and I have never had a TM warning about a "stale" backup. When I turn it on, it simply schedules the next backup, which is incremental, as always, and proceeds about an hour later.
I have never seen that "Ten Day" warning.
I think I have also let my other MBP sit unused for over 10 days and have never seen the warning.
However, I always start up these machines with the TM drive connected. Running them with the drive disconnected may be a completely different situation. In oher words, when I start these two rarely used computers, there is really nothing new to backup. That may be the difference. If you use the computer for 10 days or more with the TM drive disconnected that may cause the warning flag to be raised.

Alarm keeps going off an hour after it should

Ok so my iPhone nicely reset itself the other day in accordance with daylight savings but for some reason my alarm clock keeps going of late which is annoying as I've been late for work 2 days In a row now has anyone else had this.

Have you had a quick look through the forum for all the other posts regarding this, or read the newspaper or watched TV in the last couple of days?
Please do a serch and join one of the other hundreds of posts on the same subject rather than starting a new one.
