Annoying Little Bug...any solution?
In my iTunes library I have many non-album tracks (i.e. b-sides or live recordings) for which I leave out the album title. What I've noticed, is if I select an artist from my iPod, if I only have one album by that artist, it goes directly to the album tracks...but non-album tracks aren't listed. Essentially I can only access those non-album tracks by browsing songs. If I have multiple albums by a single artists, this isn't a problem because the iPod gives my the option of viewing all tracks by that artist in addition to listing all available albums. Is there any solution to this other than giving all my non-album tracks some generic name in iTunes?
Your only solution is to provide an album name for those tracks.
You could use the artist name as the album name.

Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
Mac OS X has reserved characters that cannot be used in file or folder names. One of them is the colon: It is used by the operating system in paths to designated separate directories and files, exactly as Microsoft uses the backslash character for the same purposed.
However, Mac OS X is 'supposed' to translate colons to another character when saving files from within an application or the Mac OS X Save dialog. The typical translation is to forward slash or dash. For example, "Bug: Colon Translation" becomes "Bug- Colon Translation". Of if I am saving a web page to a PDF, the source name of an article with this title would change to "Bug/ Colon Translation".
The bug: The above colon translation process does NOT work reliably in the Mac OS X Save Dialog with reliability. I guestimate that 95% of the time the translation of colons in source titles does NOT work. Using the example of translating a web article title to a PDF saved file, the results are typically the following: "Untitled.pdf". This forces the user to copy then paste in the actual title of the article. THEN, 100% of the time, the colon translation actually works. For example, if I have a web article titled "Bug: Colon Translation", it is extremely rare for that title to be anything but BLOCKED, resulting in 'Untitled.PDF' as the resulting title in the dialog box. When I then copy and paste the source title into the title area, replacing 'Untitled', I get: "Bug- Colon Translation".
What will happen perhaps 5% of the time: The colon translation of the source title will actually work. When this occurs, using my example above, the OS provides the following translation: "Bug/ Colon Translation". Note that when it works in this situation I get a forward slash, not a dash.
I research, read and save web articles all day long. A lot of articles use colons. I have to contend with this bug all day long every day. This bug is many years old. I can't recall when it started. But it certainly has been consistent in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, 10.6 Snow Leopard and now 10.7 Lion. Three versions of Lion are enough for me to realize that Apple is either oblivious to this bug or they don't care.
Clearly, the colon translation CAN work. It is MEANT to work. No one can dispute that. The user is NOT supposed to be messed over with 'Untitled.PDF' files. They are MEANT to have actual PDF file titles, as seen in our example above.
Therefore the question:
Is there any solution to the colon translation bug?
It is incredibly annoying.My guess is they don't care. Most likely they're illiterate and don't know what a colon is for. They probably think it's a little-used character. Remember: these are the people who don't know the difference between "deprecate" and "depreciate".
I have the same colon problem as you do. But it's not the biggest problem I have encountered in Lion. If it was only that I'd be Mr. Delighted with Lion. There's worse than having a colon - uh - that won't cooperate. A lot worse, in Lion. -

Any solution for the Exchange "does not delete" / "does not expunge" bug?
Other than using Synchronica, has any solution been found or released for the iPhone/Exchange bug where messages deleted on the iPhone are not deleted from the server (but rather just left there & shown as "read")?
Yes. The issue here is that iPhone does not issue the "expunge" command after deleting the message. If you have a PC at work and are using Outlook, you may want to run a utility that will periodically expunge the deleted messages so you don't have to do double duty deleting. A good one is here -- note, you must scroll down to the comments for the link to the updated binary that supports SSL if it is enabled on your Exchange server:

When my macbook goes to sleep from non activity when I return the wifi is not on. When trying to log back onto my hub it says it is out of time and I have to reboot each time. Most annoying, any solutions please?
If you are not using data and the iPhone goes to sleep, it will automatically drop the wi-fi, and will not reconnect until you wake the phone up. That is the way it is designed. The only way around that is to turn off cellular data while at home and on wi-fi.
Cannot answer the xbox question since this is an iPhone forum and I would have no idea. -
Any solution to Bad Structure?
hi guys, is there any solution to a Bad Structure PDF?
I am unable to export it as Word Document, when i try to export it as text it will let me do it but all text order is a mess. Very annoying stuff.
Thanks for any help or ideas.
Cheers,
STo get it back to WORD in a form that looks like the original, you would have had to have tagged the PDF. From OFFICE that is done by using PDF Maker rather than print to PDF. I am not sure the MS plug-in properly tags either. So that is likely the problem and there is little you can do to fix the issue. There are some expensive 3rd party programs that supposedly do a lot better job at the conversion back to WORD. They are dedicated packages and do a detailed evaluation of the page to try to replicate what you see.

Hi there, since I installed Mavericks, when I am having a video conference with Facetime, and I maximize its window, the other person stops seeing me (my camera turns off.
Is this a bug? or do we have any solution to this annoying issue?
Thanks!Hi cpfrances,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some steps you can take to isolate and troubleshoot the issue with your built-in iSight camera:
How to Troubleshoot iSight
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
Cheers,

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around. -

Good morning,
I am pretty sure this isn't the right place to report bugs but, since I do not have a Metalink account, hopefully someone that is an Oracle paying customer will do what I cannot.
EM has a simple but very annoying bug: it does not use a fixed font to display the output logs (of a job for instance). This results in output like this: (which looks even worse as a post in the forum than it does in the EM window)
>
File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
1 OK 0 13301 88325 1458980
>
which gives the impression that there are 13301 corrupt blocks in the file examined (not the kind of thing a DBA wants to see). I doubt I have to point out how cumbersome reading this unformatted output is.
However, using a fixed font, the very same output would look like this:
File Status Marked Corrupt Empty Blocks Blocks Examined High SCN
1 OK 0 13301 88325 1458980 which now shows that there are 13301 empty blocks (much better news than before). The problem, as we all know is, EM is using a proportional font when it should be using a fixed font such as Courier New.
This trivial little bug substantially subtracts from the usefulness of EM to review logs.
Thank you for reporting this to the powers that can make it right,
John.Dear 440bx - 11gR2,
Unfortunately i have no idea about the problem that you have experienced. However;

That is forbidden. Please see the user rights assigments of the Oracle. Metalink is a paid area and can only be used for those who have already paid the price.
People here can only help you based on their previous experiences but they simply can not post, paste or share the articles of the Metalink.
Please bear in mind for next time but i have the feeling that you already know that issue, don't you? :)

PDFs in X are now hard to read unless lots of zoom. Any solution?
Used to have Reader 9. Pdfs, even if small, were easy to read on screen.
But now with Reader 10 (X), PDFs, even when shown on screen at 8.5" x 11" or larger on my 24" monitor, are difficult to read. End up having to use lots of zoom to make the document readable. But since only part of the document is now on the screen, I have to scroll.
Thought that Reader 10 would be an upgrade to 9, but the reading of PDFs has greatly deterioriated.
Is there any solution to this? Is this a known bug?
Thank youWhat makes it "easy" or "difficult" to read; the font size, or does the text appear blurred? Please explain.

[Athlon64] Annoying little problem! PLease helpHi 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

How to finally get rid of those annoying little plus sign boxes in a table
Hello everyone!
Pages treat table cells as a _*TEXT BOX*_
If those +*annoying little plus sign boxes*+ are popping up, do this to get rid of them:
1. Open Inspector
2. _*Select all*_ on your table
3. Click on T
4. Click TEXT
5. GO to _*INSET MARGIN*_ and SLIDE until the little plus sign boxes disappear.
FINALLY the boxes are gone!Hej Fruhulda
Obviously you are one of the fortunate ones who has never had to deal with the dreaded little box with an X in it!
All of us here were seeing it all the time up until yesterday and it was driving us CRAZY!!
Imagine this:
You are trying to get some work done in Pages
In a table
You add some text to a cell
Then you find out that you have to make the table smaller because
suddenly you have to insert another table on the page
As you are making the table smaller
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Inside the cell with the text *a little box with an X in it appears* and will not go away.
If you are working with MANY cells in a table
You are looking at A LOT OF LITTLE BOXES with X's in them.
Suddenly you feel *SEA SICK* looking at all those little boxes
You read the entire iWork Manual line by line BUT cannot find anything to HELP
Your project is not a numbers candidate
You have been a mac user for YEARS and YEARS
You know your macs, you know your mac issues
WHAT TO DO
I am sure you can see the dilemma we were in!
Then all of us realized that this is similiar to a text box issue and cell padding issue from our Adobe CS suite programs and sure enough it WAS!!
That is basically the problem ALL of US were having.
So if our solution can help anyone - *WE ARE GLAD*
because they were probably getting *SEA SICK TOO* trying to get some work done
Thank your lucky stars you did not ever have this issue pop up on a deadline!!
Have a great day
( I miss my Östermalmstorg FIKA in the afternoon)

Wifi / WPA Security Issue- Need Help- Any solutions??
I've searched everywhere for a solution to this problem- it seems widespread, many people have had the same, but has anyone solved it? Desperately looking for a solution!!
Problem: I'm on OSX 10.4.11. Connecting to my wifi router via Airport from my Mac Pro. When any type of security is enabled at the router (WPA, WPA2, WEP, etc.), my internet connection gets dropped after a few minutes. This happens for other Apple devices on the network, like my iBook (also on OSX 10.4.11). Even my iPhone. Only short term solution is turning Airport off and on again. But the problem recurs after a few minutes.
With security turned off at the router, all is well. (But then I'm on an unsecured network.)
At first I thought it was the router, but the problem persisted with a new router.
Any help appreciated... this is very annoying yet I haven't found any solution anywhere...Neither. The first was a D-Link and the current is a Tenda.
