Bizarre, strange bugs and quirks seem endless and unpredictable..

sometimes css files for websites are opened in downloads.
sometimes all the images on any given page are replaced with images from previous sites visited, or favicons of previous sties.
sometimes when links are clicked, pages from an entirely different url are opened.
sometimes pages will not open at all, until their url is entered repeatedly.
sometimes i wonder why i try any other browser than internet explorer, i keep going back to it.

If you're not happy with Safari, PLEASE use something like Firefox or Opera.
As for troubleshooting, what version of Safari do you have installed?
Any particular websites consistently give you this problems?
Have you tried these pages in the other aforementioned browsers?
Have you tried reinstalling Safari?

  • Strange bug and crash on macbook pro retina

    Goodmorning to everyone,
    today i opened my mac, started writing some script, went away for a couple of minutes and here we go. The touchpad and the keyboard still were working, and i could type and move things. Before shut it down i tryed to close and open it, or closing application etc.. but it only got worst. Then i shut it down, and now it seems to work fine, but what was that?

    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button,                         
    and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If the new library doesn't work properly try this:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    In either case your current library will be untouched for further testing if necessary.

  • Strange bug with CC panel and OS X Spaces

    I seem to have a strange bug where the CC panel opens each time I switch spaces in OS X (click on the GIF animation below).  Anyone else have this problem?

  • BUGS and FEATURES REQUESTED. Please add to it.

    I've been using the z10 for the past couple weeks and wanted to start a thread of comprehensive Bugs and Features Requested.
    I've labeled Bugs by letters (A,B,C...) and Features Requested by numbers (1, 2, 3...) so that others can add sequentially.
    BUGS
    (Not listed in any particular order)
    (A.) Contact App adds current date as birthday. When I edit my contact, the current date gets listed as the birthday in local contact.
    (B.) Duplicate telephone numbers listed. Telephone numbers show up twice in my Contacts (e.g.., if I have the contact's cell saved in (000) 123-4567 format and the person has the number listed in Facebook, I get a duplicate entry of +10001234567).
    (C.) Telephone numbers and emails are not actionable in Web pages. In webpages, I can't click on telephone number to call (e.g., I look up a phone number for a restaurant). I should be able to easily call or copy into the Phone App or E-mail App.
    (D.) Auto capitulation for words on the word substitution list is wrong. For example, when the word substitution contains more than one word. I have "ru" change to "are you" but if the first letter is capitalized (R) then both words become capitalized words (Are You). I used to have shortcuts like "mysig" to create email signatures with legal disclaimers but I can't do that now.
    (E.) Backspace delete doesn't work consistently. The Shift+Delete function seems only to work after moving the cursor. This feature is the Alt+Del action to delete words after the cursor.
    (F.) All Emoticons do not list. Emoticons do not all fit on the the two screens (lists) of emoticons. I.e., two columns are missing from view and can be seen when sliding (swiping) between the lists. Also, sometimes when I select an emoticon, it doesn't correspond with the picture of the one I intended. I believe this error is related. As a separate note, there should be a way to see the underlying symbols of the emoticon. (Often times, other people don't have BlackBerrys so I'd like to know what symbols would be sent--my prior 9800 would show the characters as i scrolled through them).
    (G.) BlackBerry keyboard doesn't always work in input fields. E.g., certain Web pages. (I found a work around; two finger swipe up from the bottom makes the keyboard appear)
    (H.) Sent messages stay unread. This seems to be an issue when an app sends an email (e.g., share article). The email with the sent indicator (checkmark) stays bold and I have listed 1 unread email. I can't mark as read/unread but if I delete the sent email, my unread message gets cleared.
    (I.) Contact already added but I get the option to add instead of view contact. For some contacts, I get the option to add to contacts in the action menu cascade when that person is already in my address book. This bug is for emails and text messages.
    (J.) Cannot call from text message. When I hold a text message and select call under the action menu cascade, the OS opens up the phone app but doesn't call.
    (K.) Composing messages by name. When composting messages, the input must be by first, middle and last name. It should be, instead, by string and include nickname. E.g., if the person's name is "Andrew B. Cameron" I must type the name in as such. I can't type in "Andrew Cameron" or "Andy Cameron."
    Features Requested and Suggestions for Improved User Experience
    (In no particular order)
    1)      Option to reply in different ways from the Call List. Be able to select a name in a call list and have options to call, text or email the person. The action menu allows calls to other numbers but I can't choose to text or email the contact instead. Sometimes, I missed a call and want to reply via text because I’m not able to talk. (Long hold on the Torch 9800 trackpad button brought up the action menu allowing me to call, text, view history, add to speed dial, e-mail, delete, etc.)
    2)      Option to reply in different ways from the Hub. Related to above, when selecting an item in the hub, have the option to contact the sender or caller with multiple different ways.
    3)      Only show number once in contacts application. Tap on the number to bring up the "action" cascade menu with options to call or text the number. Why is the same number listed twice (once to call and below again to text it)?
    4)      Timestamps for individual text messages. I can't tell exact time on individual text message if it comes in near the time of another text. All messages are in one "bubble."
    5)      Ability to select MMS or text for a message. Sometimes I write a text longer than 160 characters and I prefer it to be sent in one message (i.e., MMS mode) rather than being broken into one or more standard text messages. I had this ability with my 9800.
    6)      Send button should be moved for text messages!!! Why the heck is it right underneath the delete button?!? Or next to the period button? I often times have accidentally hit send when composing text. It's very annoying and embarrassing. (Also, what happened to the ability to hit enter for a return carriage to next line?)
    7)      Bigger magnifying glass. My finger is often over the area I need to place the cursor. I find it difficult and erratic to place the cursor.
    8)      Select all option. Add the option to select all text in action menu cascade.
    9)      E-mail recipients and message headers. Difficult to tell if you are one of many email recipients. Can we have a way to pull the email down to see the list of recipients rather than have to click to expand the header info? I know this request is a little picky, but that's how it was done in the previous BlackBerry OS which I preferred; it is easier and faster to pull the e-mail down and 'peek' to see which e-mail box received the message, message status, from and to fields. This change would be consistent with BB's flow/peek rather than click.
    10)   Browser navigation. Hold down back arrow to get a list of recently visited websites similar to a desktop browser.
    11)   Dark/Night mode. A night mode (maybe in the drop down menu) to change all the white and bright backgrounds to black or dark which would be helpful when reading/viewing things at night in bed/etc.
    12)   Number of contacts. Ability to see how many contacts I have.
    13)   What happened to groups or categories? I'd like to have back the ability to filter or see categories and also a way to contact everyone in a category. E.g., family or friends or coworkers, etc.
    14)   Shutter sound mute. I was at a wedding and wanted to take pictures during the ceremony but the shutter would was too loud.
    15)   East Asian Language Input. I bought my parents two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend because they need Korean input (and the Kakao talk app). (BTW, S3 is a great phone but I prefer the Z10 after having the weekend to use the Android phones).
    16)   Ability to freely place icons on the homesreen. Currently, icons are forced top left-right-to-bottom. I prefer to space my icons out.
    17)   Add a contact to the homescreen. I'd like to place a shortcut (similar to a Webpage) to the homescreen for a contact which will open up the contact. Android allows this feature and so did my previous 9800.
    18)   Search Contacts by nickname. The contacts app doesn't allow me to search by, e.g., Andy, even if I have that as my contact's nickname. The previous OS allowed this type of search which was very helpful.
    Finally, as a note, I've been using the BlackBerry Z10 for the past 2 weeks and it's a great platform. I just bought two Samsung Galaxy S3 phones over the weekend for my parents so they could use the Korean language input and related features so I spent a lot of time with the Android platform, setting it up and teaching them how to use it. The S3 is a great phone too.
    I prefer, however, the way BlackBerry has done their OS 10 and the integrated management of messages.
    It's too bad that BB doesn't have Korean input and apps like Kakao Talk or I would have considered it for them.
    The BlackBerry 10 is a great platform and I look forward to the continual improvements that will only make the experience better.

    This is a great post.
    I couldn't have written it myself better.
    I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
    But I second every point.
    I hope the tech teams are reading this.

  • I Start a New am so frustrated with problems syncing photos on my iPad. I choose which files to sync but get deleted photos in my albums, my photos are in the wrong albums and the weirdest of all- I now have strange graphics and Facebook photos in albums!

    I have spent several hours trying to find a solution to the following problems. After syncing my IPad with ITunes, I end up with photos that I previously deleted in my albums, duplicate photos, albums that have wrong pictures in them and weirdest of all, strange graphics and Facebook photos that are not even mine. Right now I hate this thing!
    I have scanned the support forums, Googled it, deleted several photo caches, spent days editing my photo files, checked the specific folders I wanted to sync and it seems like it's not syncing, just adding the same photos and strange crap that it already had on it. Oh please help me!
    Thanks!

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • N80: Feeds Client bug and possible solution

    Hi everyone,
    I've found what appears to be a bug in Feeds Client V. 3.0(0529) in my Nokia N80 Internet Edition.
    I've added a couple of feeds when connecting to a WLAN, but when I tried to read those feeds again, this time away from that WLAN range, it didn't even gave me the choice of network connection: it just tried to go back to the same connection without asking.
    I deleted that network's entry in Tools->Network->Access points. Because I only had two feed address saved, I've also deleted them.
    But this time the phone didn't even allow me to go into the Feeds folder!
    What appeared to solve the bug was something like this.
    1) Create a new bookmark with the feed address (e.g. Google News). You can delete it later.
    2) Start browsing the feed. Your browser should ask what is the network to use, if you've configured that way.
    3) You get the feed list, hopefully. If you choose Back, the mobile will show the feed list you've saved (in my case, only the feed I'm reading because I've previously deleted all of them).
    This seemed to do it. If you want to be sure, save the new feed in the Feeds folder again, and delete the previous feed.
    Hopefully this will allow you to go around the bug and let the Feeds Client think it should access the network connection you want. The problem is, it still only lets you read the feeds through the network connection you've selected!
    Regards,
    J.B.

    A better test would be to move one at a time (Desktop folder) until you find the codec causing the trouble.
    Two of my guesses:
    Out of date DivX
    VLC plug-in

  • Scripting bugs and anomalies in Acrobat Pro XI

    I've downloaded the trial version of Acrobat Pro XI and starting testing it out with various scripts and actions. The results are far from good, I'm afraid.
    Here are some of my findings, so far:
    1. The Action Wizard is very cumbersome and un-intuitive. It took me several minutes to figure out how to change the default setting to a specific folder, and I still can't find where to select the input file types to be processed. Also, what's the relation between the "Default option" and the Add File and Add Folder buttons? Very strange UI decisions there. I don't care about panels and dividers, but I do want the actual commands to make sense*.
    2. Another very bad decision is moving the Save command to a different section. What's the point of making it just another "tool" in the list? If you want to use it, you'll want to use it at the end of the process, not somewhere in the middle... And as it stands now, if you don't add it explictly, the changes are not saved at all.
    3. After running an Action, some of the files remain open in the window. I was looking for a Close File command, but couldn't find any such thing. Is this a bug?
    4. I'm running a script that processes some files. After finishing, the files are automatically saved and overwritten, even though I haven't added that command yet to my script. Very serious bug!
    5. After running some scripts and actions, working with hidden files, I've tried to access app.activeDocs. The result was an infinite loop of this error message:
    After a while I had to close down Acrobat from the Task Manager.
    I must say I'm very disappointed with this release, so far, and would not recommend anyone to upgrade to it.
    * Speaking of commands that don't make sense, what's the point of the Document JavaScripts command in the Action Wizard? All it does is open that window... This doesn't make sense at all in an automated action. It should have given you the option to automatically embed a piece of code in a file, not let you do it manually.

    Hi there,
    Your feedback is interesting as this is the very first time we receive some negative feedback about Actions in Acrobat XI.
    First of all what do you mean by "what's the relation between the "Default option" and the Add File and Add Folder buttons" ?
    If don't have the time to go through the help nor documentation here a brief answer:
    - Default option allows the author of an action to specify the behavior and settings for the command. In the case of Add File and Add Folder it will drive user running the action about the type of location the file(s) should be retrieved from: a scanner, cloud repository, a specific folder, etc. This is a bit of improvement over Acrobat X, but not a significant change in the behavior.
    I hope this is what you were questionning about.
    "Another very bad decision is moving the Save command to a different section"
    While this may not be convenient for you, I don't think it's enough to state that it's been a very bad decision since most users like it. It's also more flexible and more powerful. It makes it possible for instance, to save a document with a different naming convention at different points of the action which is an important improvement for some users. I am sure that after you've played with it a little bit more you will agree with that.
    "After running an Action, some of the files remain open in the window"
    Files that have been loaded by the Action playback should be closed, unless that have something special. Otherwise it could be a bug.
    " I'm running a script that processes some files. After finishing, the files are automatically saved and overwritten"
    It can only be because the JavaScript contains instructions to save the files, or the Action does. Otherwise it would be a bug and I'd be curious to know more about it as Acrobat is VERY robust about this.
    Please provide the files in question I'll be happy to spend time debugging the case.
    "After running some scripts and actions, working with hidden files, I've tried to access app.activeDocs. The result was an infinite loop of this error message:"
    This is out of my scope and will ask around me how it's supposed to work. Hopefully we'll get an answer from the script folks quickly.
    Please share files and way to reproduce the issues you meet, considering that you are the first person to provide such negative feedback there might be some misunderstanding somewhere.
    Best,
    Luc Leroy

  • LMS 3.0.1 / CM 5.0.2 / Questions on Campus (bug and feature)

    Hello Community..
    I had two questions regarding Campus Manager [LMS 3.0.1 / CM 5.0.2].
    1/ My customer is using a background image with the topology map (representing the country map where icons are placed on each city).
    When closing the map and opening it again it has been reported me icons are not saved on their previous position and no longer reflects their cities.
    After going through the forum it should be due to bug CSCse24944. In the bug details we see CM 4.0 is impacted but I do not see any next release where it is fixed in.
    I wanted to confirm if CM 5.0.2 is affected ? And confirm also there is no workaround at this time ?
    2/ I understand that without CDP, there will be no links between devices in the map. Due to security mesures CDP must be deactivated so we enter in the best practices deviations.
    My question is : Do you think that asking to my Cisco representative for a feature request allowing to manually draw a link between icons would be too irrealistic, given the technical context and conditions of CM ?
    I hope the questions are not strange...
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks and regards.
    Karim

    1. Yes, that is the bug and there is no workaround other than not using a background image.  It is not planned to be fixed in the current incarnation of Campus Manager.
    2. This is a commonly requested feature and may very well happen at some point in the future.  It would not hurt to have your account team build a business case to get this implemented.

  • "Save for Web & Devices" Huge BUG and major annoyance!

    Photoshop CS3
    I am so tired of losing all of my work for this bug it isn't even funny! It doesn't lock up Photoshop but does make it impossible to save anything including all the currently cropped and resized images open in PS. It forces you to lose hours of work in some cases which is what just now happened and I want something done with this since it is probably the biggest annoyance from a BUG of all the adobe products ever.
    To replicate this bug:
    Open an image, any image.
    Go to File and Choose "Save for Web & Devices".
    Once the "Save for Web & Devices" dialog box is open choose save, BUT here is the bug, after the Save As dialog box appears choose cancel to go back to the open and now useless "Save for Web & Devices".
    Attempt to now close the "Save for Web & Devices" dialog box.
    The issue is it won't close once I cancel after choosing save from the  "Save for Web & Devices" dialog. I cannot resize the window or do  anything in PS when this happens since it takes complete focus. I cannot  close the box or choose from most of the options on the right since now  at this point they'll all be blank.
    This has happened before and  I had learned to save no matter what to avoid this but just forgot and  am once again about to lose HOURS of work because of it...
    I have searched and searched and cannot find a separate process to close in device manager to stop just it (which is lame). All I can do is close PS and say good bye to everything I had already done.
    Of course I would like a solution to this and a fix but having owned Adobe products for years know this is highly unlikely and to get a fix you must buy the new version (pathetic). So, I will settle for yet another hopeful work around to get around this idiotic BUG.
    EDIT: I have rebuilt my preferences countless times (since that seems to be needed for so many of Adobe's products issues) as well as complete resinstalls of the CS3 Production Premium Suite to no avail. I have dealt with this issue for several years and several new installs. I have an aviation forum and people have been able to replicate this on theirs installs as well, to include one CS4 user.
    Message was edited by: Danbo342

    Thanks Noel, and others.
    I have listened to people.  In fact read my second post. It was seeing the 1st two that couldn't  duplicate the error get on the phone to a friend in Germany that was  able to duplicate it. I then came back here and shared what my  suspicions were of the Matrox unit. The other person able to duplicate the issue has yet to return to the forum for me to further check with (I guess some people sleep).
    To be clear here. I  have owned CS3 since it's release. I have built myself several  computers since I bought it and this one is actually the third since  then. This particular issue though was never seen until a few months ago  since I seldomly use the Save for Web for saving files and just started  using it on my latest flash site.
    As for video cards.  This card I am using is my 3rd. My GTX 260 was great but being having  other joys of the PC I also always kept up with the latest and greatest  cards so thus came my last purchase of the GTX295 before the newer ones  hit. Point being, the issue is most likely my Trip2GO and plan on  testing when I get home and get it ripped apart. I do web design on the  side which is one reason the trip2Go for my home workstation. The other point is that I do a LOT more than Adobe work and my card needs to be high end and not some cheap card just to make my suite work. Maybe in the future I'll make another comp,,, one for every other product I own and then one just for Adobe's products.
    Now as for tech support and myself. I am A+ certified. I am certified in every OS since Dos 6 and a hardware engineer. I do tech support, have 3 support forums and 11 web site, all primarily based on support. My comments above were not about getting mean, it is because Adobe support in general is one of the worst that I have ever had the misfortune to deal with and strongly disagree with the way they cut support and updates to a year old product (that's when no more patches came out I meant and known bugs were written off for the next version). To say try a new video card to me is like a supposed "tech" to say reinstall your OS, or like here reading people say (what I originally said I did) about clearing the preferences. Sure, this help clear up lots of Adobe product abnormalities but listen up folks, it's not a SOLUTION, it is merely a work around. It shouldn't get so screwed up to begin with. This is not my product and although I have tried it, it is wrong to not fix these issues and just expect people to keep refreshing there preferences. It takes me hours and days to get things back the way I want them and normally half way to heaven another bug and I have to reset them yet again! This is us dealing with a broken product, period. It is far from a solution, there's a huge difference.
    Moving along,,, This build is a few months old but my windows install is much more recent. All firmware, drivers you name it is up to speed 100% I guaruntee. My hardware is all working perfectly with the propable exception of the Matrox rig. It has to be it. Being that the 1st two people to reply in my own forum were able to immediately duplicate the error had me thinking other but as you should be able to see is that changed fast and if you read this thread from top to bottom you'll see that I have been providing all the answers people are asking.
    Thanks again, I'll report back tonight. My current plan is to go through the painful process of getting just one monitor working without the Matrox unit, flushing my preferences and trying again. I think it will work fine but will report back either way.

  • Keyword Bugs and Some Keywording Improvement / Feature Suggestions

    Tagging Bugs and Some Improvement / Feature Suggestions
    Please excuse where I should use the word Tag or Keyword or vice versa!
    1.       BUG?    If a tag synonym is added or changed then all affected photos should be marked for re-publish.  I do not think this currently happens.   Should this possibly be considered a bug?
    2.       BUG?    When viewing a smart collection in a Flickr publish service and a new tag is added to a photo it is correctly moved to the “requires re-publish” section.   However … the thumb selection in the grid moves to the next photo, the loop view remains on the photo just tagged and the key wording still reflects the just tagged photo.    The selection shown in the grid appears to be wrong.      When working quickly this can result in tagging errors as the user looking on the grid believes he is working on the next highlighted photo in the grid.      This is surely a bug?
    3.       BUG?      A minor point and I realise this is probably not the correct way to do things … but a double word synonym entered with quotes for example “Ice Climbing” will create two tags “Ice” and “Climbing” at the flicker end of things.    Removal of this synonym and forcing a re-publish does not delete these two tags at the flicker end of things.    I may have miss-understood, but perhaps it is best for LR not to allow quoted tags? 
    4.       SUGGESTION      An easier and more powerful way to review tagging of current photos should be provided whereby it is possible to clearly see the current tagging of a photo and have immediate access to the keyword list at the same time to make corrections.    Having both the Keywording and Keyword List panels open in Library mode results in a lot of up and down scrolling for me and is a slightly inelegant UI in my opinion.   I would suggest it should at very least be possible to have the tags viewable in Loop info as an option - so long as no truncation is made and all tags visible.    Ideally a better way should be sought.
    5.       SUGGESTION      It would be very useful when reviewing tagging to select to show all photos in the currently selected folder or set which do not contain the selected tag.    Note, I don’t think this can be easily achieved by using a keyword filter and selecting all keywords and unselecting the tag of interest as the pictures may have many tags.    The same might be performed by textual based searches but this is inelegant and its slowness precludes a browsing approach.     For example – for me it would be useful to look at all my mountain shots in a trip which have not been tagged with “Glacier” and it will be immediately visually apparent where I need to make tagging corrections.    I would suggest a “Not” checkbox is made available on the top of each column in the library filter – this may also provide a great deal of power for other situations.
    6.       SUGGESTION      It would be useful to allow a means of showing all pictures with a certain tag but which have not been tagged yet with any children of said tag.   For example all pictures tagged with Glacier which I have not yet named the glacier by introducing a relevant child tag or selecting an existing child tag.    A similar situation occurs for wildlife and potentially many other scenarios … I would like to use a tag “Butterfly” which I can quickly use on my first pass… and then do the identification and child tagging on a second pass using appropriate filtering.   This allows for a step wise or “top down” approach to tag classifying things in a workflow.    I appreciate this can be achieved (as I do now) by using a child tag called “Unnamed butterfly” or “Unnamed Glacier” but it seems more powerful, elegant and generically applicable to be able to filter on a “not tagged with a child” basis.
    I apologise if I have missed the point on some existing functionality on any of these points and welcome any suggestions.

    This is a great post.
    I couldn't have written it myself better.
    I'm also in dying need of Korean input as I can't communicate with my Korean friends.
    But I second every point.
    I hope the tech teams are reading this.

  • Strange noise and flashing lights -- can this be battery/power-related?

    I have had two occurrences of a very strange sound and never-before-seen flashing of a light on my TiBook. Here is what happened:
    I recently got a new battery (a NewerTech Extend 4800) for my 3 year-old PowerBook. I carefully followed the directions that came with the battery and installed it, then plugged in the power adapter to charge it up. I then started the computer so I could see the battery’s progress. Upon start-up, a “whooo” sort of sound came out of the computer for a few moments and the little sleep indicator light flashed several times (as did the apple light on the back of the computer lid). Nothing appeared to be out of order and the computer started normally otherwise. I was able to monitor the battery’s progress and since everything seemed to work normally and no one I talked to seemed to think I’d damaged anything, I just used the computer normally for the next two weeks with no problems.
    Then last night the computer just shut down all by itself – I did not put it to sleep and it is not set to go to sleep on its own (my power saving setting is only set to dim the screen), nor did I click “shut down.” I thought perhaps somehow the power cord had not been attached and the battery had run down, although the new battery has been warning me properly when the battery is getting low, so that doesn’t make sense. It would not wake, so I restarted it. Upon restart, the same noise and flashing light situation occurred again.
    I called the company that sold me the battery and the tech guy’s suggestion there was to reset the PMU and he gave me an Apple article to instruct me on how to do that. I have done that, but there is no evidence that that has solved whatever the issue was. I am hoping that someone can identify the sound and lights pattern and advise me as to whether it is some more serious issue, or if it’s nothing to worry about. It has been suggested to me that it is possibly a power adaptor issue, but since I’ve run down and recharged the battery without incident several times in between the two occurrences, that doesn’t seem logical either. Is there a known signal a computer makes when there is some power/charging issue?
    Thanks for any help you have or for at least posting if you have had a similar experience. So far, no one I’ve talked to has ever heard of this before.

    Hi ChloeB,
    Your description of the "moaning" sounds at startup sounds like something I'm dealing with. I came across the following post by EWW in the "My Powerbook Won't Start Up". I recommend the link and wish to specifically credit EWW with the posting, as I found it helpful. The URL is

    Hi, limberlingo, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2 (Oct. 1999 and later Macs)
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58442
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    Your Powerbook is not detecting any good RAM at startup. This may indicate that your RAM (all of it — do you have one module or two installed?) has gone bad, or that it isn't seated properly. The first thing to try is reseating it: remove the module(s) and then reinsert it(them). Then try starting up again. If that doesn't do the trick, and you have only one RAM module, it's probably bad and will have to be replaced. A single RAM module having intermittent problems before failing completely (as it apparently has now) would account for all your problems.
    If you have two modules, it's much less likely that both of them have failed or loosened in their slots simultaneously. Post back with results of your testing.

    There's another thread I found where one of the causes of a three-tone warning was found to be a pinched ribbon cable coming off the bottom of the trackpad. You can find that in the thread titled "Solution to Freezes Caused By Ribbon Cable" - - the information provided by Marc Posner, Anthony Brade and others.

  • Some Bugs and Enhancement Suggestions for Offline DB models

    I really like the way that this area of JDeveloper is shaping up, but I have a couple of bugs and few suggestions for enhancements.
    Bugs,
    1) when adding an index to a table, you can't edit the index name. If the generated name is too long, it doesn't allow you to create the index.
    2) When adding columns to an index, there is no LOV of columns so you have to manually type each one. It always defaults to the ?first column of the primary key? which seems odd.
    A few enhancement suggestions:
    1) on tables and columns it would be very helpful to be able to also have a logical name as well as a physical name
    2) if we have a logical name, it would be then very helpful to be able to set the display properties to show the logical vs. physical table and column names
    3) Tablespace objects. I would be okay if they were just the logical object (not necessarily generate DDL to create them). If I could use them as part of the table and index definitions.
    4) Table partitioning.
    5) Packages on a DB Diagram. Just for the documentation purpose of visually displaying all objects in an application.
    6) Ability to create views based on synonyms. Currently, it only allows to pick a table or view.
    Just a few items that I have encountered trying to design a full application in JDeveloper.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Gary,
    thanks. I filed the enhancement request and bug based on your description

  • Master Pages and Buttons - Bug and Fix Request

    I think I'm the only person in the world who has encountered this bug, and I've filled out the bug report form on the Adobe site twice in a couple of years.
    Just wondering if anyone else has encountered it, and I'm curious to know if it still exists in Creative Cloud (I'm still using CS6).  However, I think this bug appeared in CS5.5, prior to that, results were as one would expect.
    So here's the gist of it . . .
    Prior versions of InDesign allowed you to put a button on a Master Page, then upon export to PDF the page number would be appended to the button name. CS6 appends random numbers to the button names on export.  (It seems the number appended to the button names is the instance count of the button in question.)  This problem becomes incrementally worse if you use different combinations of master pages, some with buttons and some without.
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    Create a button, named "menubutton" and add it to a master page
    Apply that master page to 10 pages.
    Export the ID file to PDF enabling buttons and interactive elements.
    Check the button names in the PDF from Acrobat
    Results:
    In CS6, this now appends the page number, and an arbitrary number to the button name.  CS6 results are like such: "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 21", "menubutton.Page 32", "menubutton.Page 43", etc.
    Expected results:
    The button names should become "menubutton.Page 1", "menubutton.Page 2", "menubutton.Page 2" , etc. (As in prior ID versions)
    The problem becomes a lot worse when you use combinations of master pages . . . for example:
    Master A – contains one button – menubutton
    Master B – contains one button – otherbutton
    Apply those masters to alternating pages, like below and export to PDF, this will be the crazy result:
    Page 1 (A)        “menubutton.Page 1”
    Page 2 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 2”
    Page 3 (A)        “menubutton.Page 31”
    Page 4 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 41”
    Page 5 (A)        “menubutton.Page 52”
    Page 6 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 62”
    Page 7 (A)        “menubutton.Page 73”
    Page 8 (B)        “otherbutton.Page 83”
    So, can anyone else attest to this?  It makes scripting buttons incredibly hard!

    Hi johnjohn123,
    1. I would definitely make a copy of the EnterpriseWiki.aspx page layout and make changes to that. You can then set your pages to use your custom page layout. Typically, I provision these via Visual Studio and a module for uploading them to the SharePoint
    master page gallery.
    2. For the master page, the html version is new to 2013 and is meant to simplify branding, however, it's not required. You can still work within master pages and provision those via features if you'd like. The key is to create your own master page and never
    modify the default.
    If you need code samples for any of the above, let me know and I can supply it.

  • FURIOUS! Warning: Undo Bug and Auto-Save Bug

    So I'm pretty ticked off right now. I generally liked FCPX and its changes contrary to many others' opinions, but I just came across a bug that ultimately was worse than I thought.
    During my editing process, at some point I was unable to undo changes. It was greyed out in the toolbar, and Command+Z wasn't working. It was annoying, but I didn't think much of it or bother to restart FCPX because I was in the zone and didn't want to stop. Eventually, I decided to restart FCPX to see if I could fix the bug with a lull in my edits. It closed out as normal.
    When I re-opened FCPX, I found out that my project was at an EARLIER state. From what I can guess, when the undo bug happened. So, during that period of time, NOTHING was being saved. Since you CANNOT auto-save (I know you can duplicate a project, but Im not interested in that, I just want to save a copy manually), there is no way I can recover my edits. I lost about an hour or so worth of edits. Since FCPX doesn't support "versions" yet either, there is no way I can retrieve it.
    I do  not know if this is a bug due to 10.7, nor do I really care. I sent a bug report because this needs to get fixed. I consider you do the same but AT THE VERY LEAST, be mindful of this bug. If you suddenly can't start undoing, either STOP IMMEDIATELY or duplicate your project (maybe that would work). I'd hate to have someone else go through this problem too.
    Sorry if this message is written poorly, like I said, I'm pretty ****** that this key function (Apple's ONLY way to save) failed.

    Thanks guys for the tips. Unfortunately though stuck, I don't know if the finder trick will work. Remember, I never really had the file LOST, the changes were simply not writing to the actual .fcp file. So if I copied it in Finder, I think it would just copy the .fcp file which is currently not getting saved to anyway. Maybe duplicating the project in FCPX would work, but again I think that just takes the .fcp file and duplicates it. If it's not writing to it, then its a moot point. Oh well.
    As with anything that frustrates anyone, I've cooled off haha, and doing the re-edits actually seemed to turn out easier and better then second time (you know, as theu naturally are I suppose haha). Obviously all sorts of problems happen with technology, its just a shame that its a bug that revolves around the ONLY save feature haha.
    HOWEVER. I think I have replicated the problem, and MIGHT know the source of it. Or at least one. If someone wants to try this and confirm this? I'm running OSX 10.7 and FCPX 10.0 (obviously), however I encourage someone with 10.6 to try it too.
    I noticed the "undo bug" (and thus the auto-save bug) happens when I took one of the "fader handles" (I don't know the actual name, but its the little marker-like icon found at the start and end of audio tracks, which when dragged, let you easily make a fade in or out. If you take a fader-handle, an drag it ALL the way BEYOND the length of the clip, it should get stuck. Youll notice you cant easily make a change to it again, and you can't undo it. I think this is what causes the problem, as I think this happened twice to me.
    If this is it, I hope I can find a way to flag this for Apple so it can get fixed! At the very least we can be concious of it.

  • ACR 7.x known bugs and fixes

    Since Adobe stopped supplying Camera Raw downloads, I've noticed that it's become harder to track bugs and fixes. Hopefully, someone here can put me straight on the current state of play.
    Can anyone summarise the well-known problems with version 7, and when they were fixed (or are still ongoing)? Is there a 'changelog' somewhere? What is/are the main outstanding issues at the moment?
    Unfortunately, I'm getting to that age where my short–medium term memory isn't very good at retaining this sort of information, so it's good to have it written down!

    Jeff,
    I have been dealing with this since November. Steve G knows about it but hasn't had time to do anything. Here's the deal...I am on Windows 7 and Photoshop CS6. I shoot with a Canon 7D and G11.  I do all my initial work in the metadata template...my own info, description, keywords, location, etc. etc.  This creates an .xmp file. When the update from RAW 7.2 to 7.3 came through in November, I downloaded it, as I have all other updates. Then, suddenly, all images in folders with RAW files that had ANY metadata applied, would regenerate endlessly. This only happens with RAW files, not with folders containing jpegs or tifs.
    I tried resetting preferences. I tried creating new folders. I have asked if this problem is seen with Nikon RAW files and I'm not sure there has been an answer. I think people have recreated this even with DNG files tho I am not sure. I do know that someone in Adobe has recreated it.
    I then discovered that previous .8bi folders were no longer readily available. Getting to one is way, way, way above my ability and involved all kinds of ridiculous backflips but I finally got one. Then followed a solid week of me trying replace the 7.3 .8bi file with the 7.2. Of course, with no instructions, I was putting the wrong file in the wrong folder (32 bit and 64 bit). When I finally got THAT straightened out, it still didn't work. It took someone at Adobe taking over my computer to successfully revert to 7.2.
    I lost hours and days of work time trying to deal with this. Meanwhile, should I buy a new camera, I won't be able to see my own RAW CR2 files and will, instead, have to convert to DNG, which, frankly, I find to be a royal pain. Am I peeved. You bet I am. I've been asking, pleading, begging for something to be done since November. Some thoughtful soul suggested I try updating to 7.4 to see if it fixed the problem (the 'fixed problems' listed for 7.4 does NOT mention the recalibration). You can understand, after the problems I had in November, why I will NOT do this until I am absolutely sure the current, latest update has fixed my problem. And I will NOT spend another two hours on the phone with adobe alleged tech help to finally get someone in India who doesn't know what I am talking about. This forum has been far more helpful but please underestand, I am an old school film photographer who has had my share of problems understanding this digital stuff and mucking around with the basic technology of my computer only leads to horrifying outcomes for me.
    Jeff, are you with Adobe? Can you look into this?
