Am I the only person

who only gets sound out of my X-Fi's front speakers when I set the audio control panel to "2 speaker"?
I don't get any audio whatsoever out of the headphone jack when headphones are plugged in with any configuration other than "2 Speaker".
If I set it to 4 speaker or 5., I get either no sound, or fronts only and a really bad screeching noise when it tests the rears and centre.
When I can get sound out of the fronts, it's horribly quiet. With all mixer settings confirmed to be on max, I have to turn the Logitech's to full volume to even barely here the test tone.
I bought another X-Fi thinking that my card was stuffed, but the new card does exactly the same thing!
Have tried with onboard disabled, enabled. Many different driver revisions. Youpax suite. Have switch PCI slots.
From the threads on this board, it seems that most people are getting at least basic functionality out of their X-FI's under Vista, am I the only one who doesn't get any workable audio at all?
When I disable the X-FI and use the onboard Realtek chipset with my Gigabyte board, I get perfect 5. sound. What I really purchased this (these!) cards for was the positional audio and CMSS3D with headphones. At the moment, the best I can get is barely audible 2 channel sound
Does anybody else have the same symptoms?

I don't understand what your exact problem is! You do not get sound from all speakers in a 5. configuration or what?Bare in mind, that under Vista you will have to manually select your speaker configuration in BOTH the Windows Control Panel and Creative's Audio Console. Then you must also enable CMSS to get stereo expanded over multi-speaker configurations. In Windows XP Audio Console would synchronize with the Control Panel automatically, but Microsoft no longer allows that.Message Edited by alexs3d2 on 05-03-200708:25 PM
Alex: I thought my original post was pretty clear.
If I try to get 5. working through a logitech 5. speaker system, I only get very very faint sound from the front 2 stereo speakers, and yes, this is after trying every possible configuration of speakers and settings in both the Creative Audio Console and the "sound" control panel applet. When 5. is configured as I would expect it to be, as you have mentioned it should be set, then I get sound through the front speakers, but when the test moves to the centre, surround and sub, it gets a deafening "squak" or "squeeling" sound.
This happens on both my original Soundblaster X-Fi Extreme Music, and the new Extreme Audio I just bought.
Moving away from speakers entirely (as speakers work perfectly on the onboard ALC888 chipset) I wanted to get headphones working, as that is the only real thing I want the X-Fi for. However, absolutely no configuration I try gives me even the slightest hint of any sound whatsoever from any of the output jacks.
These very fundamental and completely debilitating problems seem to be out of the ordinary juduging from the hundreds of posts on this board I've read over the last 2 months. I just wanted clarification that others were having the same problem to try and diagnose whether I should just give up trying to get the cards to work, or whether there is something specifically wrong with my setup and these friggin soundblaster cards.
It should be noted that the onboard chipset works absolutely wonderfully for all games, music and any other programs under Vista. I've waited a bloody long time for CL to finally come up with a decent working hardware accelerated HRTF card that comes close to the 3D positional accuracy I enjoyed with my Diamond Monster Sound MX300 all that time ago, and then with a new OS upgrade, all that gets thrown out the window...
Just in the off chance there is some hardware compatibility problem, here are my specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2 Gig DDR2 SDRAM
Gigabyte GA-965G-DS4 (onboard ALC888 "HD Audio" chipset/codec)
Geforce 8800 GTX
No other PCI or PCIE cards in the machine.

Having horrible service with 4GLTE I have had 3G for several weeks (I am not the only person I know having this problem), I have reset my network settings and it did not resolve the issue. I am also unable to send SMS and text messages without them either failing or not sending at all. Is there an outage in the Cleveland, Ohio area (zip codes 44129, 44134, 44137) or anything else I can do to resolve this issue?

Not that I'm a Verizon employee, but I have experience in the field. An LTE tower will only extend up to, on a perfect day, with no elevation, 6-7 miles. On a typical day, you will be lucky at four (4) miles. The three ZIP codes you've given are all within about a 12 mile radius. That would mean that 2-3 towers are currently down at the same time, and Verizon would know about it within the hour. Being it's Cleveland, I'm sure they would receive numerous calls regarding an outage of that size.
My point is that if you're having issues in all three ZIP codes, chances are it's a phone issue. If you're handset is simply not receiving LTE, but still receiving 3G, that would signify a SIM card issue. You need to get your SIM card replaced.

I can't be the only person who has this problem - when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that

I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

Am I the ONLY person who's angry that mobile hasn'...

Hello. Am I the ONLY person who's angry that my mobile hasn't lasted for several years? Am I the ONLY person who's had problems on and off throughout the last two years with his / her Nokia, AND had it replaced twice by Nokia Care, and now that it is out of warranty, require $292 to be repaired?
Bought the Nokia 6110 on a typical 2 year plan 2 years ago, and it just hasn't ever been faultless.
But even though it kept going 'funny', at least I could use some of the features, and Nokia Care have replaced the 'innards' of it from Nokia Asia somewhere, which took ages, And the 'loan fones' have been just aweful. And 'no', the loan fones were not able to hold Contact numbers from the 6110.
But when my Nokia 6110 started to just 'drop out' and say "Insert SIM Card", I knew I had a big problem. At first 'they' said it was because I didn't update the Nokia firmware upgrade properly. Then they said .................................................... Then they said I needed to get a new SIM card from my Telco because some times the SIM cards "go bad".
However yesterday Nokia Care finally dropped the 'big one' - my fone can be repaired for $292. That's almost THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. Tell me, how much is a new Nokia.
Oh, and I am STILL waiting to hear from Nokia Care about when I can go back and pick up my 'dead' phone.
Did I tell you my 2 year contract ran out three months ago? Did I tell you I now can get another fone, with whichever Telco I chose, and I can pick any fone I want to go with another contact? So like you, I am doing HEAPS of 'reviewing' of fones on every website I can find, and I am asking people, and doing FaceBook, and Twitter, and ...................
And guess which brand I will not ever get again?? And guess which brand I am telling everyone about??
Oh, and I have written quite a few times before to Nokia - and I am still waiting for a reply............... That's what makes telling everyone how I feel SO much easier.
Nokia, you have lost your 'edge'. You care so much about 'selling', that you have forgotten its also about OWNING and SERVICING. Gosh, you do it bad. The products are hit-and-miss; your support is lousy; and your communication just sucks big time.
Have a nice day.

Hi Disappointed_Nk ,
Kindly take note that the boards here are for user-to-user support only.
If you want to provide any feedback directly to Nokia, you should use the 'Contact us' link at the top of the page to contact your local Nokia team.

Prepaid accounts don't have Account Owners/Managers, they just have Account Members (and prepaid accounts have less options regarding changes via their My Verizon account as a result).

Do I need a user account if I am the only person using my Mac?

Hi. Total newb to Mac here so be gentle with me What I am wondering is did I need to create a user account for myself when I am the only person that ever uses my Mac? The reason I did create one is I did not see an obvious way to create a password upon boot up as a straight admin account & I am concerned about theft. So I guess I am asking a few questions. Do I need the standard account & if not how do I delete it?
If I do not need one can I set up a login PW for OSX period?
I sincerly thank any help.
J

See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3309
Go to ->System Preferences->User Accounts.
As the only user, you must have at least 1 User Account for yourself (as Administrator)
To delete an account, hightlight it and select [ - ]
For Password on Boot, select Login Options and set Automatic Login to OFF
Note that if your Mac is stolen, its very easy to bypass the Password on Boot.
For Security, see ->System Preferences->Security->Filevault
Personally, I think Filevault is overkill, so I just put my sensitive date in Encrypted Disk Images: http://www.macworld.com/article/53658/2006/10/decmobilemac.html

Outlook 2010, Advanced Find, 'Where I am the only person on the TO line' not working

Outlook 2010 running in online mode with Exchange 2010 SP3.
When performing an Advanced Find, clicking the check box 'Where I am:' and selecting 'the only person on the To line', the search results return email messages where there are multiple people in the To

Does anyone have any insight on this, and is there a custom search I can perform for similar results in the Advanced tab?
Thank you

Unable to repro it here. What if we enable cached Exchange mode, will this issue continue?
In addition, meeting items will ignore the 'Where I am: the only person on the To line' criteria when searching. Make sure these search results are not meeting items.

Probably not, but I suspect you didn't read the user guide, and will be one of the people who come later ranting to this forum about issues that are clearly covered in the said guide.

HT201304 I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks

Hello I am the only person who uses my iPad shall I use restrictions or disable thanks
Ps what difference does it makeo

It's your choice. If you are the only person that uses the iPad then it's probably not necessary, but, for example, if you think that you will never make in-app purchases then you could disable them via Restrictions so that you can't accidentally make them.
In terms of the difference that it makes, then you can use it to hide some of the built-in apps e.g. Safari, App Store (via 'Installing Apps') etc, prevent apps from being deleted, or hide some of your content.
But if you do set restrictions then remember the passcode that you use for it - if you forget the restrictions code then the only way (unless it wasn't in place when you last backed up) to remove it is reset the iPad back to factory defaults.

Am I the only person who hated AVATAR

Hi all
I actually fell asleep during Avatar (and that was BEFORE a visit to the pub).
Am I the only person who actually found this movie REALLY Boring
Cheers
jimbo

No you are not! I found it really boring too! I mean, I enjoyed the effects and oohed and aaahed at all the right scenes, but frankly, I would have rather stayed at home and watched Bullit or something.
And for those you will be putting the question up, yes, I saw it in 3D and everything.
Saw Sherlock Holmes the other day and found it a 100 times better than Avatar, though being a die hard fan of the books for such a long time, I found the idea of a hyperactive-snide-remark-spitting-funny-man Holmes a bit difficult to take in. I'm not saying its bad, I'm just saying its hard to get used to at first to the idea of this new iteration of the screen Holmes.

Am I the only person having problems with Verizon's refurbished Androids?

The best way for me to share my issue, is to submit a copy of a letter I have written to Verizon.
I have been a loyal Verizon customer for many years now. I have enjoyed good service until my most recent phone purchase approximately 18 months ago. I purchased an HTC Android, which did not work properly. It was immediately replaced with a refurbished phone from the manufacturer, which also did not work properly. That phone was replaced with another refurbished phone form the manufacturer that did not work properly, but after being given NO OPTIONS, I learned that I would have to live with a partially functional phone. For approximately a year I learned to live with the fact that my date/time stamp would disappear, that sometimes my phone ringer would not work, that I would never get an alert sound when a text message arrived. The worst part of this phone is that periodically it would dump/erase all my text messages. Since Verizon could not solve the problem and since Verizon blamed the manufacturer, I had no options, had no choices. Part of being with Verizon and my crappy phone was forced upon me with a 2 year contract. I would only have to be miserable for one more year. Then one day my phone erased some very important text messages. At this point, I had already spent hours and hours and hours with your tech support, and I decided I needed to try and force a solution. While talking with one of your tech people, I learned that the last phone I had been sent was sent to me with Beta software. The software was so outdated that the phone was not updating itself. In fact we could not update the phone manually. So, the tech person put me into yet another HTC. That HTC did have up to date software, but I was still having problems texting, date disappearing and other glitchy things. So, then the next tech person put me into a Motorola. Leary of droids, I asked for an Iphone but was refused. The tech person told me that I could use my HTC charger for the Motorola, and that he would not be sending me a Motorola charger for the phone. I understood.
So, I’ve been very patient throughout this. I figured I just had a few more months to get through this misery, wait for my contract to expire, get the Iphone. Well, I had not idea that the WORST WAS YET TO COME! So, the Motorola doesn’t charge. I tried charging that phone for 3 days, and nothing. So, back on the phone with your tech support. By the way, whomever reads this letter, I hope that someday you have to go through the tedious phone trees that I had to, only to get to Tech Level 1 which pre-screens, then you have to explain your story ALL OVER AGAIN to level 2 tech support. Of course, I now realize that Verizon thinks that I have hours and hours of time, that it is more important for me to burn 2-3 hours of my time to save Verizon 10 minutes of their time. I now realize just what a low opinion the company has of its “clients.” I actually can’t refer to myself as a client anymore; I think I am one of Verizon’s chumps.
So, back on the phone, more misery, more trips to the post office. This tech person could not believe that the new Motorola was not charging, and when I asked her if I could just get an Iphone, she said, “If you are returning a functional phone with the idea that you will get an Iphone, we will charge your for the returned phone. They will test the phone when it arrives, and if there isn’t anything wrong with it, we will charge you.” WOW. So, not only have I not had a phone that works properly, but I have wasted hours of my valuable time on the phone and running to the post office returning phones, but now I am being threatened by your employee who was implying that I am a liar. BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE!   So, she sends me another Motorola, and this phone wouldn’t take a charge either. DO YOU THINK SHE SHOULD HAVE SENT ME A MOTOROLA CHARGER INSTEAD OF MAKING ME USE MY HTC CHARGER?! How much money did you save here, $3 for a charger? So the new phone doesn’t charge, and of course now I am back on the phone tree with your tech support. BUT WAIT, IT GETS WORSE! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT THE WORST IS YET TO COME?
So now I’m very angry. At some point, after a company FAILS you over and over, at some point you have to take matters into your own hands. I figured I am at that point. I ask again for a Iphone, and they say No. At this point I figure I may have to file a small claims against Verizon or pay off my contract, something dramatic, something that will solve the problem. I am now writing down employee names etc. This all went down last Friday, August 24th. I talked with Deshanee. Deshanee determines that the problem is the charger, but I explain to her that I have been reassured by two other tech people that my HTC charger is fine. I told her I was leaving town and needed this resolved. She said that I needed to go to a corporate Verizon store, and there she would arrange for a manager to give me a charger and charge the phone. Really!   So during rush hour traffic on a Friday, I get to run to a Verizon store and test something that might not work!!!!! Whomever reads this letter (if it every gets read), I hope that someday you have to go through this hell, frantic, running around, not knowing if I will have this resolved before my trip, and the HUMILIATION of having to do a tremendous amount of footwork, wasted time, wasted hours. You people must really despise your client/chumps to put us through this misery and HELL! I told her that that was unacceptable that I wanted to talk to a supervisor. If I go to a Verizon store during rush hour traffic on a Friday, going on my SIXTH REPLACEMENT PHONE ISSUE, I wanted to know the problem was going to be resolved. I am not a lab rat to be sent around town for an experiment. I asked her to get a supervisor and have him authorize me an Iphone. Deshannee reluctantly consulted with a man by the name of Chad (she refused to give me his last name), and he said, “No.”   He did not have any other solution for me other than to run to the Verizon store and test out a new charger. I had visions of me sitting in a Verizon store for 2 hours waiting to see if a phone would charge. At this point I am HATING VERIZON. You have no idea the depth of my anger and resentment towards your company. I wanted to personally talk to Chad, and since it looked like I would have no other choice than to follow my orders from Verizon, I started my way to the Verizon store. By the way, there is a Sprint store within two blocks of that corporate, Verizon store.
So Chad is not available but Denshanee connects me with a very nice supervisor by the name of Mary. Both Denshanne and Mary were courteous and professional, and I do not blame them for anything. I BLAME VERIZON for not giving them any customer service tools to work with. After all I have been through, figure out a way to resolve the problem once and for all. I had to come up with the idea terminating my contract, paying the $200 penalty, Verizon crediting me back the $200, and then I would BUY the ****** IPHONE! I suggested this to Mary, and she said that only the Customer Loyalty Dept could authorize that. So, after being on hold for quite a while, she came back to me to tell me that the Customer Loyalty Department would not authorize it. I was left on my own. Since the Corporate Verizon store would not give me a charger for my phone, I had to buy one. They sold me a Verizon, Universal Wall Charger. More to come on this later. Turns out EVEN THIS ISN’T RIGHT! They should have sold me a Motorola charger. It has taken me weeks to figure out why I can’t transfer data!!!!   So, I have spent hours on the phone with Verizon tech support to try and figure out why this ****** phone won’t transfer data. Verizon tech support was NO HELP. THEY DON’T KNOW. So, I had to call Motorola tech support to find out that Verizon’s Universal Wall Chargers are not used for data transfer. If you people were actually trying to drive me crazy, intentionally, I would be afraid for my life. If this is your level of competence when you are trying?
I went on my trip and of course, when I arrived in Europe, my phone did not work. I had to get on your tech support again, and it took 2 hours to trouble shoot the problem. Even though I had called several times to ensure my phone was international ready, to make sure I had a calling plan and a data plan, no one bothered to fill my requests. I believe I should record every phone call to Verizon, document everything. So, even after I got on a data plan, I received alerts that I was mounting over $1,000 in data roaming charges. I had to call Verizon several times from Europe to remedy this. You people just love making things hard. I hate Verizon.
So, my new Motorola does not transfer data to my computer, for a reason I am not sure of, but Motorola claims I have the wrong USB cord. I requested a car charger and was denied that today by your tech support person, Vondra. She said that Verizon only warrants phones, and that we have to buy the chargers and such. Yeah, of course Verizon doesn’t; that would cost you $3? So, I called the Verizon corporate store on La Cienega, the store that refused to give me a charger, that made me buy one (one of your tech people did credit me back for that BTW). I spoke with the manager, Vanessa. She said that they don’t carry Motorola chargers. They sell the phones, but not the chargers. I explained to her about the data transfer problem I was having, and she suggested I buy a memory card reader. GREAT. So, Verizon’s solution is to abandon the idea of having the proper equipment, piece meal a solution and yes, make me pay for it!
So, another item, which your tech support cannot solve, is that the phone does not work while it is being charged.   So, I called tech support again, asked to speak with a Supervisor. I was put on hold for a long time, and the tech support person came back and told me that there were no supervisors available and that one would have to call me back. I asked her the name of the supervisor that is supposed to call me back, and she said, “Alvin.”
So, a day has gone by and no call from Alvin. I doubt he will call. Your company is obviously going through some rough times. I am sure that within a few months, Verizon’s incompetence and failings will start to be reflected in your ratings
I have visited the Sprint store, and I am familiarizing myself with what they have to offer. Early next year my contract expires, and most likely I will leave Verizon. I should take you to small claims court! Most of all, I so much regret all the people I referred to you, dozens. I talked up your network, I told everyone how happy I was with the service. I was your advocate. No longer, and I am not putting the same effort into letting people know how horrific Verizon has been with me during these last 18 months. I am counting the months until my contract expires. I will limp along with this broken phone until my contract expires, just has I have done with all the other defective phones Verizon has provided me with. For a year my HTC phone ran on the first generation software, and I managed to just use it as phone, nothing much more, and that’s what I’ll have to do with this ****** piece of crap.

I believe you, Ihave been a subscriber for over 8 years and over that period of time I have has some phones fail. This I can accept and understand, however the policy of Verizon of only sending out recertified phones is a joke. I have had over 10 replacement phones sent out to me an none have actually lasted more that 1 month. Last year this went on and on, I was able to fix this by upgrading to the samsung stratosphere.   My son's Pantech phone failed and was replaced several times and to resolve this, I ended up purchasing a replacement from Amazon.
My worked fine at first, then the internet started to get really buggy and hard almost impossible to connect. I was very hesitant to have them send a replacement because of my experience with the replacement phones, however I had to concede because I could not connect to the Internet. I was assured that the replacement would undergo a 100++ point check. It arrived and I was happy with it, however a week later, it stopped charging. I spoke with a supervisor and the options he had for me was 1. keep going thru the warranty replacement process, 2 they will send me a downgraded phone (a 3G, unlike the 4G that I bought) or 3. they will buy it back for ... wait for it...$68. Another supervisor told me then they will have to keep sending out phones, every week if needed.
As expected the replacement phone failed again, and out of frustration I called again and they connected me to a manager immediately (my account is flagged because I filed a complaint with the BBB. And for once I got a helpful person, he told me they could not ship a new phone, but a different brand, the Motorola Droid 4, I said I want to keep the Stratosphere because of the car dock and desk dock, he said they would give me new docks as well. This seemed like a good deal, so I accepted. The Droid arrived and I was setting it up, transferred the sim, the 32 GB SD card, contacts and all. I noticed that the sim was not registering, it showed no data, I tried to remove it and it BURNED my hand, needless to say it fried my SD card with all the data, photos, etc....
When I was using a basic phone, this was not a big problem, just move your contacts and you are done. With smart phones this is a lot harder, you have to load all the apps and settings again. My stand is that I am paying $200++ a month for decent service... not even perfect, just decent. I get defective phones and Verizon is not willing to rectify this. I spoke with someone from the executive office of verizon and basically her answer was to keep replacing the phones until one works,, buy an new one at full retail price or get it from a third party like Amazon or Ebay....or...get this since I am 5 months away from my upgrade date, they will LET me do an early upgrade to any non apple product, but PAY an early upgrade penalty.
Right now I think that I will use one of my phones, BUT I will aside from the complaint with the BBB, I am filing a complaint with the FTC. I wrote this on the forums a few weeks ago, but of course no one from Verizon will have the B@ll$ to answer this.

Am I the only person that feels like the salesman lied to me, wrote up contract wrong, etc?

I had purchased two Iphone 4's without contract and enjoyed not having the bill and extra fees every month. Through the prepaid carrier, my son and I didn't even know we could use a laptop or anything with our phones. Luck would have it, the only thing I had left through Verizon was my USB device that I put on my computer and after 3 years, it broke. I went to Verizon to purchase a new one, and pay cash for it to not be under contract, the first salesman assured me it was compatible like the other but after four days I had to take it back for lack of connection. 79.00 was what I paid, when returned, of course I got stuck paying the restocking fee of 35.00 and a new sales person named Cofe (at Jonesboro location) comes to assist me. He talked me into the wifi jetback for 20 or so with the NEW TWO YEAR CONTRACT as he understood I would be needing for portable devices. Had to pay full price for it and wait for my 50 bucks on the rebate card. He spots my son scoping out the 4S, he said he could make the deal worth my while if we wanted to get newer phones...never telling me how much the cost. Against my better judgement, we got new phones, promised new free Lifeproof cases, etc. I told him my funds were tight and I only wanted a plan of about 160 or 180 total for all. Paid the small amount he said was due, then get a bill for 443 a couple days later. We kept going over the data on our phones, not knowing that he in fact set us up to pay 220 a month for 10 gb data, use of jetpack and two smart phones. Paying over for what we had on the mifi we didn't know exitsted caused us to have 30 too much on device and usually 30 overcharge data. Fianlly look at bill wondering why I couldn't get it paid up and 6 calls to customer service, digging through receipts, 10 hours of phone bill hunting, and numerous hours on the phone brought to my attention that he had set me up on almost the most expensive plan, charged us 99 each for cases, 99 for two new contracts and swiped a gift card for 400 to my account without any knowledge. Also, this was a new plan since not under contract, and HE TOOK OUR PHONES that I could've sold for a small chunk and there is not a trace of where they went? He made himself a sale that day!! They have removed some of the charges since I took back the FREE cases, etc., but this has been a horrible experience. I begged the people to please let me out of my contract because now I am unemployed and sure cant afford this and I feel like he did some underhanded tactics selling and not starting the plan off right. He didn't have to sell me the jetpack, we can run laptop of phones, and I guess if I were only gonna get 99 bucks for a three month old phone, I wouldve taken it elsewhere. It's amazing that of all documents scanned in My Verizon, it does not really show a trade in, which he didn't explain anyway, nor does it show what or the actual value. I get horrible service in my area and it drags on the web.not taking long to use the data. In the last week, my phone was cut off so I had to go to the prepaid place and port over. Paid enough to keep my son's phone and laptop and got told if I dont have remaining balance in a few days, they won't port my number back to Verizon, service interrupt on all and then the process server will get to bang on my door. I have never been so disgusted with service and some of the people in that building by their actions. One tried but of course he took up for his dude Cofe.....I don't know what to do now, try to pay it or tell them take the phones and FIND MY OLD ONES then go back prepay. Read this customer service specialist, because I am pretty sure DECEIT, RUNNING GIFT CARDS, AND WRONGFULLY SETTING UP NEW CONTRACT is grounds for an official claim. How did y'all like that bid long confusing mess of a story? :/

Uhhhh, hmmmmm, WHAT???
Sorry, I have no idea what you are ranting about. I think I would be more upset for running over my phone.

The system preferences say I'm not an Admin, but i'm the only person using my computer

I'm trying to change the size of my dock, but it says "this is dimmed because it's managed by your system administrator" http://imgur.com/1HUcE0k
But when I go to the Users and Groups part of the System Preferences, it shows me as the only user and it says Admin under my name. http://imgur.com/EycBV5l
