Apple and ebay doesn't get along :(

Hi all,
Is there hostility between Apple and ebay? I love safari but it still does not work properly with ebay and most recently paypal. On ebay's "live help" feature, certain key strokes does not work. And paypal which is owned by ebay, the "next or prev" button is not displayed on the page. I couldn't get to the next page of my account activity listings because this button was missing. If this is not hostility and just a bug, how do I get the good folks at apple to fix this? BTW, firefox is an alternative that works interestingly enough; I'd rather stick with Safari but...

This from Rich R at eBay on 1st August 2008:
'Some Apple Safari folk were over here last Friday and I got to meet in person with the main Safari Evangelist from Apple who I had been in communication with on this -1015 issue.
She confirmed that it was a Safari bug to do with corruption of gzipped content in Safari's cache in some cases. I pushed her for when the fix was going to be released but did not get a date. She did say they were going to have to look at accelerating releases for Safari given the competition from Firefox which release much more often. Based on her description of the problem, it seems like turning off gzip would completely eliminate the problem for Safari users.
I did make inquiries about turning off gzip for Safari users and the general feedback was strong concerns about how much that would slowdown page loading for all Safari users. It's not clear what circumstances make some users be far more impacted by this bug than others. Some rarely see it while others, it seems, are plagued by it. As it stands, I don't see that I'm going to be able to make a convincing case for turning it off. Your faked user agent string is an interesting way around that problem. However, setting up the suppression is not a simple thing to accomplish as there are many, many servers that would have to be tweaked.
I did a bunch of digging looking for options in Safari or WebKit that would allow configuring the header that specifies the forms of compression accepted but could find no way to tweak this. I wish there was a way because then you could perform the experiment. The other way to try it if you have the tech knowledge, is to send your Safari traffic through a proxy and have code in the proxy remove the accept gzip header if the host site is eBay.'

Attention Apple and Ebay - Safari NEEDS to fixed ASAP

I am getting SOOOOO tired of this. Apple and Ebay need to sit down and figure out these issues. I sent this to Apple and, HOPEFULLY, they will start listening. I just can't deal with this anymore. I can't stand Firefox but I am being forced to use it. Here are the issues I am experiencing that I forwarded to Apple. I am trying to tell ebay, but Live Chat has stopped working, too.
1. To all the people still experiencing the "t" issue in Live Chat....CAPITAL T works fine. You have to look like you are shouting at the ebay rep (and explain why you look that way), but you will be able to type normally with the letter t. I figured this out by accident over a year ago. I keep a text edit file with the explanation as to why I am "screaming" at them because its a paragraph and takes too long to type.
2. Live chat does not work AT ALL. I am never connected to the server. The kicker??? As of last night, it was no longer working in Firefox. So, I am now downloading Camino. Hopefully it works because I need to contact them ASAP (I bought an iMac and the seller is a no show).
3. The following are all ebay (not apple) issues, I am sure:
Playground searching does not work unless you are in the annoying, flash snapshot view.
Sometimes, I will want to search All Categories or Just Comp&Netwrk and it automatically jumps to a specific category no matter what I do.
My feedback rating was 220 and now it reads 219. No, I do not have a negative or neutral (I have 100%) so my rating should not have gone down.
When I tried to pay for an item last night, ebay takes you to a page that says you have to log into Paypal. But when you get there, the Login button is just an IMAGE. I had to go to Firefox to pay.
4. Ebay pages fail to load. I have to keep hitting refresh (sometimes 15-20 x's) to get the auction page to load.
Lots of others are experiencing listing issues. I use GarageSale so this is a non-issue for me. Apple, I love Safari, so much so that I don't even WANT other browsers on my computer, but it is IMPOSSIBLE to use ebay without SEVERAL other browsers. This is ridiculous and unacceptable. We need this FIXED. I have experienced these issues (some longer than others) for over 2 YEARS. Please, meet with ebay and repair the app.

I agree, but it is not just ebay. I do alot of searching and many sites won't connect the first time or i get "can't find the server' but less than a minute later I get it. This should not be and I cannot download the new safari I have 10.4.11 and it won't let me. Also, I can't get me.com or .mac any more directly. I used to, but my mac will not recognize the passwords now or the site. I have to go through the apple site although I have paid through next april. I am ready to scream when I have paid for one of the most expensive home computers out there.

My backups using Time Machine to my Time Capsule worked fine until a week ago. Since then it gets stuck on "Preparing ...". I have left it preparing overnight and it doesn't get past this stage. What else can I do?

Mavericks does really nasty stuff..
Try manually mounting the sparsebundle and extract the files you want.
Yet another Pondini reference. http://pondini.org/TM/15.html
We have avoided Mavericks you see knowing that it would cause these kinds of issues..
You never ever load a new OS without doing a disk image beforehand.. TM is not reliable enough or trustworthy to be depended on.
If none of the above work..
I would get a USB drive on the computer and install Mountain Lion or whatever OS you had before you unfortunately upgraded to Mavericks.. Then use TM from that decent installation but mount the sparsebundle and choose the backup from a date well before mavericks was installed.
Once you have extracted the files.. or even done a full restore you might be able to extract the files you want.

Safari and yahoo mail not getting along

Safari and Yahoo Mail don't seem to be getting along this past month

Hi powerbook1701!
It is a shame...Yahoo has always been bad with Safari...I think most people here keep a copy of Firefox/Camino for cases like this when webdesigners don't make their pages compatible with Safari. It's not much of a problem anymore but there are still a few sites depending on where you surf...
Actually the reason I started using Mail is because the standard Yahoo mail wouldn't display custom fonts, etc. on Mac. At that time not even with Firefox for Windows. But I'm glad that I switched because I enjoy using Mail much more that Yahoo's webmail which by the way was never good at searching...
Oops this sounds like Yahoo bashing!!! It's not meant to be...just letting you know other people have the same issues you're experiencing...

Adobe GoLive and Safari 5 not getting along

Hello.
I was trying to update a web page on a site that I'd created with Adobe GoLive version 8.x. Every time I tried opening the site files in GoLive, I got a crash. I decided to quit out of Safari 5 which was still running in the background to see if that would help. It didn't. I found a partial workaround to getting into my page, and it doesn't seem to be Safari's fault.
I guess more than a Safari question, is are there any good, current Web Site Authoring packages for the Mac out there? I really don't feel like paying $200 for upgrading to Adobe's Dreamweaver software.
If this is the wrong forum for this question, I apologize. Please direct me to where I should post this question.
Thanks for your help.

HI,
Not sure if this will help but worth a try.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. On the right open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Look for a file similar to this: com.adobegolive.plist (not exact wording but close)
Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac. Try opening the site in GoLive now.

TS1363 Is there any alternative to iTunes for copying music onto an iPod? I am sick to the back teeth of Apple and I am really getting annoyed at having to uninstall and reinstall iTunes every few weeks.

I have iTunes on 2 PCs, one running Windows 7 pro, the other running Windows 8. I also have 2 iPods which show up in Windows but not iTunes. Every time this happens I have to delete and download iTunes again, losing my library (nearly 10,000 tracks) in the process. I have had enough of Apple and their crap software as this problem has happened to me on previous computers as well and I think iTunes is crap. Is there some alternative I can use instead of iTunes to put music on my iPods?

If you have an iPod touch you could probably use DropBox.

Apple Mail and Aol Imap not getting along

I'm not a computer genius so I'm having a really hard time figuring this out and I hope someone out there can help me. I have the most current version of Leopard on my Macbook. I've always used my AOL Imap account on this computer and it's always worked just fine. The past few days, it's not working at all. When I try to send an email, it doesn't look like it's going to go through, then it goes to my outbox. But then I find out that the email actually did send. I am getting NO incoming mail whatsoever. But I'm getting it on my iphone just fine. I've changed my port number from 993 to 587 to see if that works, and it didn't. I've even completely deleted the aol imap account and then reset it up. Still didn't work. Please help.

I was using OS Snow Leopard and on 8/1/13 I downloaded Mountain Lion. Then I found out it was not compatible with my HP Printer (HP Photosmart C5580 all-in-one) so I called Apple support and the tech told me to erase the hard drive instead of going in the time machine. Well I did that and then it took about three hours three days a week for about three weeks on the phone with an apple tech to get all my stuff back on my computer. I have had trouble with my printer (won't do the scan anymore and wasn't printing on my DVDs. Also the computer keeps freezing up when it is in the sleep mode, etc.
When I tried to list my problem on this forum it lists your OS at the bottom and mine had Mountain Lion listed as what I was using so apparently it didn't erase it. Want to know how to get Mountain Lion off and put my Snow Leopard on so things start working right.

Go to the  menu/About This Mac - what OS version shows there?
Do a backup, preferably 2 separate ones on 2 separate drives.
Revert to a Previous OS X
Revert to Snow Leopard
If you do revert, I'd use Setup Assistant to restore your data. This process takes a while, so do it when you won't need the computer for several hours, based on my experience.

Macs and USB Devices Not Getting Along

I am posting this incase I'm not the only one.
I have noticed this issue with my Intel iMac as well as my PPC iMac
Both are running the latest versions of OSX 10.4.9
This is regarding USB connectivity and the effect connected devices have on the system.
USB Setup
1 7 Port usb hub
1 Palm Dock Connected via hub
1 iPod Dock Connected to 2nd USB Port on iMac
1 ScanSnap connected via hub - POWER OFF
Bluetooth Apple Mouse & Keyboard
1 TomTom 910 connected via hub - Connected to dock but power is off.
1 Canon IP90 Connects via Bluetooth - POWER OFF
This is what happens.
If one of the following usb devices is connected, boot times can be extended with the system "pausing" at the Gray screen before Gray Apple Logo appears.
iPod
Palm TX
Once the OS boots Missing Sync's Menu Bar status application will not load, will have to manual load app.
If I disconnect these devices and reboot boot time is normal with no "pause" and missing sync loads normally.
Also i Have noticed my Apple keyboard will take longer to pair during boot with or without these devices connected.
iMac will not power down as scheduled with these usb devices connected if the system falls asleep with them connected.
Normally the iMac will wake itself up at 11pm to shut down. If my iPod or Palm is connected it will not. It will only shut down via schedule if it is awake when scheduled time is reached.
iMac G5 2 Ghz 1.5 Ram 400 Gig HD & iBook G4 1.33 12 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

So just an updated to my original post. I have been working with tech support for Missing Sync. There is a known issue with a menu bar application that comes with their software. It seems when more than 1 or 2 usb devices are connected this menu bar app doesn't load correctly... or at all.
According to them.. one of their techs actually spoke with a Apple Engineer at WWDC this week regarding the issue. According to this Apple Engineer there is a known issue with OS X and USB handling. Apparently the OS can "freak out" if certain devices are connected during boot.
No other specifics where given, and who knows if this is Missing Syncs attempt at shelling off responsibility to Apple. However, I am inclined to believe it as I have noticed that my iMac Intel or PowerPC will take a significantly longer time booting if my iPod or Palm Pilot is docked during boot. I've also noticed I can't reset my PRAM when these devices are connected.
I hope apply addresses these issues, seems kinda crazy its gotten this far being that USB devices are the primary method for expanding your Mac's abilities.

Gmail and Mavericks are not getting along.

Gmail used to work so nicely with iMail, but ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, things started going all screwy. I know that Apple released an update for the problem, but that hasn't worked.
I checked for other software updates and there are no new ones. Everything is up to date.
I have been able to zero in on the problem: Incoming emails are not an issue. They show up on all devices. I if open an email on Mail and delete it, it syncs with the other devices as well.
The problem stems from what I do if the email is opened or deleted on a different device. Thats when Mail on the Mac won’t sync. It will still show the email with the blue icon showing it’s new and unopened, and it will stay in the inbox even if I sent it to trash anywhere else.
Has anyone else run in to this problem, and if so, have you been able to fix it?
All help is appreciated.
Thank you!

Its really depends what kind of computer your using, is it old? If you are using a PC, in some cases it really does matter which port you plug your ipod into. Try every port (cept for back ones).
Its weird because people usually see this when they Jailbreak their ipod and try to upgrade it, you get bricked by the new software which supposedly locks hacked components of the ipod, but since its happening to your nano too, then its either itunes or its the computer.
If you are on a PC look in my computer and see if your ipod comes up when you plug it in. It should just come up in the window for a miminal amount of time. If it does then its your itunes.
What kind of question is that? always download new versions! they can contain vital information for your ipod.

HT202696 How can you talk with a supervisor or someone higher then a regular tech person after fighting with apple and phone provider to get my phone fixed

I need to speak to someone about a way to fix the only means of communication the schools have to get ahold of me about my children if something were to happen. Ive tried to schedule appointments that are within the driving limit for me due to being disabled but that was blown off like oh well not our fault. I was told I could send it in but then no way for me to know the school has called. Ive been a diehard apple consumer that brags about your products and when there is an issue I get this. Its not right and needs to be fixed.

Who do you think you're talking to? Apple? Apple isn't here. This is a user-to-user technical assistance forum.
If you're talking about at an Apple Store, the Admins or Geniuses are the highest level of support, short of the Store Manager.
If you're talking about calling in to Apple Support, a Senior Technical Advisor is the highest level of technical support available.
Speak to one of them.

Good morning
Hi Kathy, my name is Johnnatan and I am part of the Small business Support community.
If you have an old firmware it would be a good idea to go out to Cisco.com and see if there is any firmware updates. I have looked on the site for you and I see the latest firmware is:2.0.2.1
http://www.cisco.com/cisco/software/release.html?mdfid=282414016&softwareid=282487380&release=2.0.1.3&rellifecycle=&relind=AVAILABLE&reltype=all
You can also try to reset your device to its factory settings, to reset your router please take a object that has a point and hold the reset button in on the back for "atleast" 30 seconds until the lights on the front to start flashing.
About Mac address, you can map a Static IP with a specific mac address, You can folllow these steps in order to configure it.

Keychain and gpg-agent not getting along

I have a problem with gpg-agent. I have been using the Funtoo keychain tool for a while, for my SSH keys exclusively. Works flawlessly - I log in, I call keychain, I type in my passphrases, and it caches my keys. Never get prompted for a passphrase during SSH connection attempts.
GPG is a different story. I have a GPG key, and I occasionally en- and decrypt files with it. So far so good. I also found out how to get keychain to cache the GPG key. It also picks up my gpg-agent, which is started as per the wiki entry (except that instead of putting it systemwide in /etc/profile.d, I put it in Openbox's ~/.config/openbox/environment file, which is where the SSH agent stuff is supposed to go as well.
Gpg-agent seemingly launches fine, it exports its environment variables just fine:
$ echo $GPG_AGENT_INFO
/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1
$ cat .gnupg/gpg-agent.env
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1
There's only one gpg-agent process running:
$ ps aux|grep gpg-agent
luser 2352 0.0 0.0 16252 1184 ? Ss 00:00 0:00 gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file /home/stijn/.gnupg/gpg-agent.env
luser 3411 0.0 0.0 9276 1016 pts/0 S+ 00:16 0:00 grep gpg-agent
Keychain picks that up as well:
$ keychain --eval
* keychain 2.7.1 ~ http://www.funtoo.org
* Found existing ssh-agent: 2346
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/ssh-YhDgORoL2345/agent.2345; export SSH_AUTH_SOCK;
SSH_AGENT_PID=2346; export SSH_AGENT_PID;
* Found existing gpg-agent: 2352
GPG_AGENT_INFO=/tmp/gpg-3faT29/S.gpg-agent:2352:1; export GPG_AGENT_INFO;
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-amalthea
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-athena
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-zeus
* Known ssh key: /home/stijn/.ssh/id_rsa-mnemosyne
* Known gpg key: [8 digit hex key]
However, when I open Mutt (or just try to decrypt about any GPG encrypted file), it will prompt me for the passphrase, despite the key already being cached. Passing --use-agent does not help (I also set that in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf).
The bizarre thing being, of course, that the keychain-cached key did not get picked up, but if I enter my passphrase into the prompt I get the first time I call gpg, it does seem to get cached - I can open mutt, decrypt files, etc., it will all use that cached key.
Any tips? I get the feeling I'm missing something, but couldn't find what exactly.
Last edited by .:B:. (2011-12-06 22:25:27)

Gpg-agent by itself works fine, although I get the feeling that, a bit like sudo, there's an expiration date on the cached key - it seems I need to type the passphrase again after a few hours or so.
Either way, I'd love to get this working with keychain.

Apple and ebay doesn't get along :(
