Alert sound for no reason and typing 9's by itself! help!
this started a few weeks ago.. when im typing in email 9's will show up between the letters I type and when I stop typing .. sometimes 9's will sow up like the key is being held down and my alert sound will sound like Im doing it over and over.. it doesn't always do it.. but when it does it will do it on and off all day until I shut down..sometimes it stops sometimes not.. I have also zapped the pram.. didn't help? any ideas? any help?

nope thats not whats wrong..I did that all before.. I put it upside down and shook it.. then I did the air thing then the vacuum..its not a stuck key.. and that also does not explain the sound... its doing it again today too the 9's and the should..I had to turn my sound volume off.. what it looks like is this.. I'll9 b9e typ9ng and 999999 wil9l show99 up lik9e this alot. and sometimes it will just go999999999 and longer so I hit the delete key until its stops.. drives me nuts! then the sound I have picked as my alert sound will beep.. ( not when the 9 thing happens but sometimes it may.. but not always..) then it will beep over and over about 10 times then stop... when im not even touching the computer.. Im not a newby to macs.. I bought my 1st one when powermacs first came out. a 7100 a 8100 and the 1st big blue and white g-3 and a laptop to.. one of the silver ones.. I still have all but the 7100 and 8100.. ( I am planning on getting rid of them though) ..Im the one everyone would call for help.. I dont know the new os x very well though... I am a sculptor and painter and I just don't have as much time to mess with the computer... but I know its not a stuck key..I searched the forum and saw one other person had this same problem but with a letter not number and he/ she did the same thing as me.. cleaning the keyboard out.. hers also stopped but Im betting its coming back as mine did... there has to be a reason its doing this..

I dont get sound for videos, games and music but ringtone still works. When i press volume buttons on side of phone i only get the picture of the nell and no little dots underneath. This is on my iphone 4s and ipad. It happened at the same time.
Recurring theme with the 4s losing alerts except for the phone ringing. Most complaints seem to center on the 7.1 upgrade. The fix is dodgy, putting in a charger, playing a you tube video then pulling out the charger and wiggling it until you get the sound back. When you get the sound back, the volume buttons start to work again. Alternate solutions involve cleaning the docking port with a toothbrush, running a pick over the electrodes etc.

My account got canceled for no reason, and can't get to support...
My account got canceled for no reason, and can't get to support... Called 800-422-3623, was told they will call back in 1 hr 15 min, got the call and then was put on hold for another 18 min. Can't get help anywhere!!!
BTW, the account was canceled because adobe messed up the billing system early October, and decided to charge me FIFTY+ times in one day. Screwed up my bank account at BofA too - alert everywhere and all my other transactions were blocked. Adobe promised me that it's been fixed and gave me 6 months free. Now I got the account canceled and can't get a hold of them. This is unacceptable.
JeffI hae been trying going through all the steps to do so, but at the end, I can't get the purchase.

IMovie quits for no reasons and its options get reset
Just a bit ago, i was using imovie and then it quit for no reason, and it has beend oing that reciently, but I can get up fine. This time, it quit and it reset its options and I didn't tell it to do that. What is going on an d how can I fix this?
the project seems to be uneffected.Perhaps you answered your own question. Garbage
Collection.
You need to save a reference of your implementation
class or it will be eaten by the GC. You can do this
by having a private Object within your Class.
You need to keep the Server alive. Once the RMI
Runtime had a "keep alive" thread for this but in
newer (SDK1.4+) versions it's now up to you.
We use this in our main() method that starts the
server:
Object forever = new Object();
... in a sync block
wait(forever);This sounds like it is right on the money, but could you please spell out in a little more detail what I need to do? As I mentioned, I start the server like this:
java -classpath dermpathApplet.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:mysql-connector-java-3.0.11-stable-bin.jar com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DPAppletServer &
DPAppletServer is very simple, looks like this:
public class DPAppletServer {
public DPAppletServer() {
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
new DPAppletServer();
DataAccessImpl da=new DataAccessImpl();
java.rmi.Naming.rebind("rmi://www.dp.mcw.edu/com.edermpath.dermpath_client.DataAccess",da);
etc
Do you mean that I need to modify DPAppletServer? Or DataAccessImpl? How would a private object prevent the server from being garbage collected? Where does the sync block go? Is it just for a separate thread that waits forever??
Thank you very much for your help!

My iPhone 4s refuses to make alert sounds for messages for one particular contact of mine. All other text messages come through with appropriate alert sounds. Any help out there?
As always seems to happen, the next thing you try ends up working. Well almost. I
Deleted the contact and sent a message from that phone to mine -- problem persisted
Deleted the person from my FAVORITES in the phone app (the entry still existed even though the contact had been deleted). This worked!!!
It's kind of weird that the favorites in the phone app were somehow affecting notifications in Messages for a contact that had been deleted, but there you are. -

my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?
Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone. -
Today I was shopping and I went to check the time on my Iphone but it had shut itself off for no reason and now it won't turn back on. What should I do?

HTTP SERVICE STOPS FOR NO REASON AND NO ERRORS IN LOGS WIN2K
The HTTP service stops for no reason and we have to stop and restart to unlock and web server runs again. It appears to be related to number of concurrent users but we cannot tie it down to and specfics except on our NT 4.0 system the service never stops and runs fine . We are running versions R1 patch 4 and have gone up to 5 and 7 . We are running against an 9i database and using forms and reports. We are not using the forms server in patch 4 just the HTTP service. This is a big problem and would like an answer if possiable.

1. On your iPhone 4 press and hold both the button and the Home button for about ten seconds. After ten seconds you should see the Apple logo showing up.
2. Now try to run you phone again and see if it works.
If a hard reset the still can't get the device back to a working order.
1. Plug in the device to the cumputer and start iTunes.
2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake + Home for 10 seconds.
3. Once you see the Apple Logo appears, release the power and continue to hold down the home button for about 5-10 seconds. Look iniTunes and see if your device have shows up.
4. iTunes will notify you that you are now in Recovery mode. Click on OK to continue with the restore process.
5. Next press and hold on the SHIFT button and click on the Restore button. Select the latest IPSW file and the prompt appears.
6. iTunes should now attempt to get your device back to the manufacturer setting.
7. iTunes will later give you an opportunity to restore you content from the PC. Every time when you do a sync, iTunes makes a backup so you can choose the latest backup from the sync. -

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.
