Annoying Forum Problems

I can only view the first page of the forum. When I click the link to the next page, it merely reloads the first page. Also, when I log in, it dumps me out on a page with links to all the forums, even though I was already in the Photoshop Mac forum. This means more navigation to return. And why do I have to log in every day? These are some pretty lame behaviors for a serious software company's forum. What gives?

[Athlon64] Annoying little problem! PLease help

Hi Ben.
Thank you very much vor your replay
but I still can get it
Here the code
on testAlphaChannels sourceImage, cNewWidth, cNewHeight,
pRects
cSourceAlphaImage=sourceImage.extractAlpha()
newImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 32)
newImage.useAlpha = FALSE
newAlphaImage = image(cNewWidth, cNewHeight, 8)
repeat with i=1 to pRects.count
destRect=......
newImage.copyPixels(sourceImage, destRect, pRects
newAlphaImage.copyPixels(cSourceAlphaImage, destRect,
pRects,
[#ink:#darkest])
end repeat
newImage.useAlpha = TRUE
newImage.setAlpha(newAlphaImage)
textMember = new(#bitmap)
textMember.image=newImage
end
But the result is not correct. O my example
http://www.lvivmedia.com/fontPr/Fontproblems3.jpg
image to the left is
created on background image, and image to the right - with
code above
What is wrong in the code, I quoted above?
Any help will be appreciated

!!! Forum Problem "Login Delay"

There is a problem with the forum when responding to email digest messages...
Responding to any post by clicking the message link in the digest email, then clicking "post..."
results in a login screen...
however, at least all of this week, immediately logging in results in
"Login Delay" meaning that the message cannot be posted or salvaged.

Very Annoying EXPORT problems

The first time i installed Lightroom, all the things went well, but i don't know why, one day i tried to export a photo and it appeared one of those common errors with "Send Error Report/Don't Send Error Report".
I can't do anything besides the preset export settings. I installed windows again, and the first thing i did besides installing the correct drivers for my pc, was to install Lightroom. I tried all versions of Lightroom, including Lightroom 2 Beta. I don't know why it worked once, and after a while it didn't work. If it never worked i could have said that my pc is a mess, and i need a new one, but why did it work at that time? (i tried to go back with all the installations i made since it worked, but nothing).
I really need help, because it's a very annoying problem.

Hello fellow Minnesotan!
Welcome to the forum.
Have you tried to repair permissions using Disk Utility, and trashed GB's ".plist" and ".cs" files, then restarted the computer?
And about the looping, just do it in GB and avoid all this mess. LOL!
Good luck and let us know how it works out!

Adobe Forum Problem

Hi,
I can't seem to reply to some discussions. For example, this thread had a question:
BAD PARAMETER Error when Deleting Pages in Acrobat
But I had to make a new discussion to answer it:
Re: Solution to "Bad Parameter"
Other threads still allow me to reply. What's wrong? I'd like to share the solution to a problem I found with the people that asked it in the first thread I posted. Pretty annoying...
Cheers,
Bryan

You can't reply because the thread is part of a old read-only forum.

Help Please, with Annoying painting problem.

Hi:
I keep running in to this annoying problem:
Swing Components not being re-drawn properly after:
Windows turns on the screensaver
or to a lesser degree if the Java program is Iconified / deiconified.
Components with Images on them get corrupted and the image is not drawn properly, maybe just the top cm or so, but it is annoying..
And I can't figure out what or if anything I am doing wrong.
It happens in a few of my applications.........
mostly those wher I have overidden paintComponent()
If someone would like to see if they have the same thing happen, below is an example that demonstrates the problem.
You will probably need to fiddle with you power settings so that you monitor blanks after 1 min. to avoid having to wait too long.
Run the program, wait for screen to blank out, bring screen back,...
If the java picture is not corrupt try re-sizing the JFrame and see what happens.
I am using Win98SE
I have Java:
java version "1.4.2-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2-beta-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2-beta-b19, mixed mode)
I would appreciate someone trying this out. Even if it doesn't happen for them.
Or maybe there is a glaring Error in my code.... And if so I could fix it..
Here is an exmple program to demonstrate this.
Two classes, The JPanel was obviously meant to do other things but I cut it down..
The main:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Container;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import java.net.*;
public class Test extends JFrame
     public Test()
          super("Test");
          Container content = this.getContentPane();
          content.setLayout( new BorderLayout() );
          URL url = null;
          Class ThisClass = this.getClass();
          url=ThisClass.getResource("Background.jpg");
          StarPanel panel = new StarPanel( url );
          content.add( panel , BorderLayout.CENTER );
          this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          this.setSize(400,400);
          this.setVisible( true );

}I have tried quite a few different approaches to remove or minimize this problem, and have read everything I can here on paintComponent() and etc
Help would be appreciated.
No dukes cos I somehow have less than 0.
Arrg my code was all neat - before I pasted it in to the code tags.

I tried your code and did not notice any painting problems. I'm using JDK1.4.1 on Windows 98.
I don't see any problems with your code. Here is the thread I usually recommend when people want to add an image to a component, in case you want to run another test:

Annoying elementary problems with Lumia 800

Hello all from noKIA and microSoft...
Latest OS version upgraded 7.10.8773.98 but still elementary baby problems...
1. First incoming phone call ring tone seconds are at full volume 30/30 despite Your setting... **bleep**??? Why these first seconds should be at full volume? Can somebody from noKIA and microSoft explain that?
2 Impossible to swish off phone ring tone AND vibrating thing. It vibrates in any version. **bleep**??? Why it is impossible to switch off EVERYTING sound and vibrato?
3. Where has gone so old but good thing of ring volume presets as older phones had Outside, Silence, Meeting etc? It was not so bad thing at all. Why it is thrown out?
4. On the phone with English settings there is Office in Russian... **bleep**??? How can I use all helps, descriptions etc of this soft if I do not understand that language?
5. No possibility to download smaller world language keyboard layouts. Why it is so impossible if big brother Windows has it? Ok I understand that it is a "really huge problem" to have menus in world smaller languages (just copy the translations from older models - how hard it can be???)
6. And why all updates are so difficult, so user involving? Can somebody learn user friendliness in any angle from Apple?
Seams that You do not learn on your mistakes and going deeper in them from phone to phone!
P.S. And after latest update - seamed to not working promissed flip over for silencing the incoming lall ring tone...
Nokia 1611, 2210, 3110, 5110, 6210, 6310, 6310i (up to these models totally satisfied)
Then don't remember model, then E50 (mostly happy), then N97 mini - phone with briliant keyboard, but poor touchscreen, then business phone E07, phone that can not make a photo of contract, invoice or business card. poor design of usb port and 5 months at service did it - my nowadays phone is Apple. Company gave me Asha 300, so frustrating, that I use my old E50 instead...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

About ringtones - it was very useful profile option in "old and dead" Symbian. Please put Yourself in average life - You are in office - want to have very silent ringtones, not disturbing Your collegues, then You go out - again - not a few cilks, but holding the volume **bleep**...
Then You go into theater - want to swich off sound and vibro - again - not so easy few clicks... You have to go to phone settings find sound controls etc... and do this stuff... Very convinient... Why newer phone has worse solutions???
I'm from Latvia, so it is quite strange, that phone itself has only few menu languages in 21st century - except of course Latvian. How hard it can be to emit a phone already with regional language???
But about settings - regional settings are available in Latvia - few things are shown in Latvian, but no keyboard layout in this language - i've checked.... Seams strange. The windows for PC itself already for years is in Latvia and has Latvia keyboard layouts etc.. Why for the Phone OS it is so impossible?
And what for in Latvia Office is in Russian? For Russian office there is huge another country called - Russia... Why it is in Russian - the explanation is still not enough understandable... Russians even have another letters - totally different from Latin. Why we need in our country Russian office??? Think about that somefinnish guy in Finland buys phone and also have on phone Russian office... Efvery finn is just happy and says - this is what he is looking for - Russian office on phone that is sold in Finland for Finns... At leat phone could ack - what Office user wants - and change it while one of annoying long updates is proceeded...
About phone firmware... Do You think it is a normal thing that phone starts to work as it should only after long, annoying and at least three updates? For My country - Latvia - this firmware update is still not available... I've checked on Nokia page... there are 30 countries in Europe and Latvia is not listed...
The third question - I tried to copy phone book from old phone using contacts transfer - but I had to face a problem - BT does not work for that purposes despite that only this option is offered... Is it normal? Only possibility os offered through not supported data conection... Cool!
Isn't it a special thing to introduce in market not finished "beta" phones? So unfinished, not enough tested etc?
And you have to admit - Lumia 800 is not a cheep phone. Why people for that money do not have phone usable right from the box, but it means long updating, configuratinga and problems for big money???

Annoying podcast problem help plz

hi guys,
first if this is in the wrong place, i apologise, as you can see a new user.
anyway, heres my problem,
i just got hold of an ipod mini, and i use my itunes extensively for podcast listening,and i have a problem regarding when it comes to syncing them with my ipod.
basically i would like my ipod to put any podcast that is listed as new in itunes on my ipod when i connect it.
and yes it does that fine.
but what problem i have is, when i come to syncing again, it will get the new ones ok, but it will remove all the ones previously put on there, and its annoying, as there are some i have not listened to yet.
is there a setting were i can get my ipod/itunes to put all new podcasts on automatically, but leave them on until i decide to remove them.
i have tried all the settings in the ipod/podcast settings, but none do that.
so any help guys appreciated.
is there a way to get my new podcasts on my ipod, but leave the others on.(and then what would be the easiest way to remove them when i do want them off??)

You should try to restore the iPhone using iTunes make sure you back up, see if it helps.
iPhones won't show as removable device if you are referring to be able to copy/transfer files similar to a usb flash drive. It is restricted based on Apple's specification altho it should appear as "Digital Camera Device" having access to your captured photo's or "camera roll" you should unlock your iPhone first before connecting to PC or Mac if you do have a password.
As of saving issues, try to restore the firmware by itunes or resetting through iPhone settings as reset or restore.
It should fix and work as normal, if it doesnt you can always go back from where you purchased it but it will. Goodluck.

Annoying Mail problem I've had for so long, please help!

Hi everyone,
Since as long as I can remember, whenever I attach a JPG, or EPS in Mail to a message for instance, if I send the email to a PC user, they always tell me that there wasn't an image attached??! Now I always have 'save windows friendly attachments' clicked and it's always under 5MB. It seems fine with PDF's.
They say it just appears as a red cross on their email programme. Quite a few different clients have reported this actually. Can anyone tell me what the problem is it's so annoying it's untrue, having to use YouSendIt for simple image sharing which Is shouldn't have to!!
Thanks all,
Mark

Mark,
Let's start with image files like JPEGs. You should send to those using PC and Outlook or Outlook Express using Plain Text, in addition to Windows Friendly. Rich Text Format can be problematic for them, and it likewise sometimes is to those using AOL and Lotus Notes (if there are any of those). If you use a Signature, make sure it is composed in Plain Text. Outlook and Outlook Express simply have problems with RTF, even when sending themselves since they use a proprietary version of RTF.
Insofar as .eps files, they can be problematic to other Mail users, and probably many others, unless zipped. The problem with them with someone using Mail, is when it tries to get them to View in Place -- Mail uses Preview to do that, and Preview can have problems with .eps files.

Annoying forum messages

Dear all,
I am not sure how many times you might have been told that
"We are sorry but your message can not be posted since you have used forbidden words/phrases. Please edit your post according to the forum guidelines and re-post."
I cannot believe that you cannot even post threads which has clean words in it.
Can we please filter swearing words and bad language instead of filtering clean questions.
This forum has quite a lot of problems if you look at it.
Sort things out SAP!!
Regards
Jehanzeb

Siegfried,
I respect you and every other person who uses this forum. My intention is not to make people angry or create dispute around however, I am sure you would understand when someone (new member) types one question and gets to know that he cannot post it for some "secret" reason which he needs to find out in his post.
Short posts are fine however, long posts takes forever to find what could have been an "inappropriate" word.
I would say if there is going to be a banning list then at least the system should prompt the user which word or words he has used in his post which are inappropriate and cannot be used.
Showing a red message on top of the post does not help at all (That includes a link to a big long article).
I can fully understand your situation and I do know how it feels when some stupid idiot comes into the forum and starts asking stupid questions (I run my own private friends forum too).
However, the question here is to make the system "user friendly" (in other words system usability) as much as possible and not too much of restrictive.
Regards
Jehanzeb

Annoying Safari problem after Mountain Lion update...

I've updated my Macbook Pro to Mountain Lion OS X a while ago and now use Safari 6.0 as my main browser. The zoom button (green button with the plus sign) on the top left corner doesn't seem to be working properly, though. Everytime I click on it, the browser's window immediately drops to the bottom of the screen. Might be just a problem with the settings...I've resetted the browser more than twice but the same annoying problem persists. Please help! Thanks.

my understanding of the green + is : it is a toggle between the OS X default windows view for the application ( in this case Safari) and the users settings for the window. What probably happened some time when visiting a web page the web page resized your Safari window to be small and at the bottom of the screen. Hit the green + again and it should be a better viewable window.
When the window is small and at the bottom move it up where you want it and make it the size that you want. Then the Green + will toggle between that view and the default view.

Please help - discussion forum problem.

I am subscribed to Apple Discussions forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" to receive a weekly digest. Today, however, I have received about 20 emails - each time there is a post to the forum. I checked "My Settings" and it indicates weekly digest. I did re-save that.
My pop mail server rejects new emails after a certain number and I don't want it to reject important emails because it's filled up by these individual posts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Since March 2007, when I first signed up, I've been getting weekly digests. Here is the email I received on 6/24 which states:
"You have requested mail to be sent to you when messages are posted to certain areas in Apple Discussions.
The following updates have been made since 6/17/07 1:06 AM
Forum "Mail & Address Book - Tiger" has been updated 2000 times .............."
It then proceeds to list all 2000 of them (in that one weekly digest email) -- with links.
Today was the first day I received individual posts.
After receiving 35 individual emails today, I changed "My Settings" and unsubscribed, and since then I haven't gotten any.
It might be some email glitch as Ernie and MacJack sugested "that all the problems encountered in the forum operation this week" and "others who do (subscribe to weekly digests) reported this also."
I solved MY problem in that I'm no longer being inundated by emails. I don't know if Apple solved theirs.
Thanks for your help.

Discussion forum problem

this is OT, but I don't know where to put it. If someone from apple is watching -- when I click on My Questions on the Apple Discussions page I get the following every time:
500 previousPageStart is undefined.

Hi
I think you have the same problem that a lot of first-time posters have; it's not possible to start a new topic in the top-level categories (such as "TIger forums"). You have to click on a forum name (for example, Installation and Setup, which is where you are now, or Using Mac OS X Tiger, which might fit your question better). When you reply to an existing thread with a different question, most people won't get to see it.
So, to your question: how do you know the hard drive space is getting smaller? Emptying your trash should definitely increase your available space. If you open a Finder window and look right at the bottom, what does it say? What happens when you delete a large file and then trash it - does this number increase or decrease?
