Buffering that shouldn't be happening
I am paying extra for Verizon FIOS 35MB Internet access but Im finding that often
movies I watch on Amazon Prime and even HBOGO stop and start as though buffering is taking place. Somehow I feel that this should not be happening. Am I wrong?
Does anyone have a clue to why this is happening and what I can do to stop it?
Thanks.

Maybe I ought to hard wire the Revue to my Verizon Actiontec router. That is an option. The Revue has an Ethernet port. That will require me running about 25 feet of cable down through the floor where my router is, into my crawl space and under my living room and up to the TV. Don't really see whay I should have to do this, though.
If you want to get hardwire performance and consistency there's another choice besides running that 25' of Ethernet cable. Using the coax already running to your TV you can use a simple coax 1-to-2 splitter to feed coax to your TV and also to a MoCA adapter, and a short Ethernet patch cable between the MoCA adapater and the Ethernet port on your Revue.
See this link for the MoCA adapter I'm talking about: http://www.actiontec.com/products/product.php?pid=192
It's plug-and-play....no configuration required. I'm using one to feed Internet service to devices in the middle of our house and it's been solid as the proverbial rock.

I purchased a Logic Pro 9.1.6. from App Store and when I try to open it, it's asking for a serial number. That shouldn't happen, they told me on Applecare Professional Application Support. Once I had a "trial version" of Logic Pro 9.0.0. Does this matter?

Yep, there's versions and "versions". But I'm a poor, stupid guy and now I had my first chance to get The REAL Logic Pro. So please, if somebody could help me with that I would be grateful.
You would need to delete all of the Logic Audio related preference files, reciepts...etc, located in these folders.
~/Library/Preferences
Users/YourName/Library/Preferences
~/Library/Receipts
And possibly
~/Library/Applicationsupport/ProApps
I guess it's possibly safe to assume that all of the people posting on this board asking why the App Store version is requesting a serial have been using pirated software. -

Not sure how oftenHello Jim.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author. -
My apps will not download to iPad 2 This is something that has just recently happened. Have tried re-booting but that makes no difference .
Has anyone got the answer to this problem please or do I need to take it into an Apple store Thanking you.If all of that stuff checks out - and iTunes is telling you that the apps have been downloaded to the iPad - try this.
Connect your iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on your iPad name on the left side of iTunes under devices and select Transfer Purchases from the pop up menu. Then sync with iTunes again. Don't eject the iPad yet. If you still don't see the apps on the iPad - click on the Apps Tab in the iTunes window on the right and see if they show up on any of the iPad screens. If they do - make sure that all of the apps are selected (checked) to sync - (checkmarks in the boxes next to the app names) - check to make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked and as well and then sync again. You may have to click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes if the apps were not selected to sync. -
When deploying the new CU4 x64 and x86 users see that the install is happening. How do I prevent them from seeing this?
Thanks
James A+, Network+, MCPIf the program settings are set to hidden, it should be hidden. You do not need to specify any client settings. If you changed the program settings and the machines already had policy, you will have to wait up to your 60 minute policy setting or just manually
kick off a policy update to see the new hidden program.
If they are still getting the interactive install, then you need to troubleshoot if the machine has gotten proper policy. Run a 'Machine policy retrieval and evaluation cycle' manually, wait a few minutes and then test again.
Suppress program notifications are the tray icons and bubble notifications about installations happening. Hidden is the method in which the executable/msi will install.

I keep trying to download itunes in Safari but get a message that and error has happened 2/3 and check window> activity. Then it shows A sever with the specified host name could not…… and then it cuts off the rest of the message. I have reset Safari and still nothing!!!
Very frustrated!!!It's downloading with Firefox 3.6.27 as I write. It's probably more a Safari problem in your case for which people on the Safari forum could provide suggestions. Or mybe just try again in a while as I suspect everybody is downloading right now.

Contexts: I am very competent with GFX and have worked on many projects.
When dragging an image onto a fresh canvas, the resizing feature presnaps the image into the canvas size. I can confirm that this has not happened to me in previous projects. I've also tested this problem by making a new larger document size and dragging in the same render. It snaps again. I don't want to re-size from the canvas dimensions, I want to resize from the render's original dimensions.Ap_Compsci_student_13 wrote:

I was looking at a tanning website today and then I logged off and went to eat lunch. When I came back, I got on Facebook and on the side were ads for tanning. What do I do so that this won't happen? I feel like something is wrong. I have heard Macs don't get viruses, but I still have Norton Virus Protection. What is this and how do I make it not do it again!
On another note, my trash can all of the sudden started asking for my password when I move something to it. It is extremely annoying when I want to delete more than one thing. Is there a way to make that not happen too? Thank ya'll!1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Can someone tell me why Apple cannot produce a Scabble game that works on Mountain Lion. So frustrated that this is not happening with all the technology available.
The only companies that can make a Scrabble game are the companies that own the rights to the game; Hasbro owns the rights in the US & Canada, Mattel owns the rights outside of the US & Canada.
You need to be speaking to those two companies. -
I purchased Lightroom 5 in December 2014. It was my understanding that I would get free upgrades when new versions come out. I attempted to download LR 6 and it said that the download was happening but there was no progress bar showing. I left the downloading screen open for 3 hours but nothing happened.
Robert,
You can purchase Lightroom 6 as a part of the creative cloud photography package, part of creative cloud, as a stand alone product or as a product upgrade.
If you purchased lightroom 5 as a perpetual product rather than the creative cloud, you would need to purchase an upgrade to Lightroom 6. Udpates are free for stand alone versions, but upgrades need to be purchased.
If you need to purchase an upgrade to a perpetual license that you downloaded or purchased at a store, see this link: Products . Scroll down to lightroom and click "buy". Click on the selectable text by " I want to: "and select "upgrade".
If you are trying to install Lightroom CC 2016 as a part of a creative cloud subscription, you should be able to download and install Lightroom CC 2015 from the Creative Cloud site. Since Lightroom CC is a new product, it will not show as an update in the Adobe Application Manager. Instead, press the install button next to Lightroom in the Application manager. If you don't see "install" by Lightroom in the application manager, please first try signing out and back in: sign in and sign out of the Creative Cloud desktop app
If you still have issues, see option 2 in this link:
Lightroom doesn't launch or quits automatically after splash screen

Trackpad glitch fixed its self? That shouldn't happen.
I'm not the most adept Mac user, so bear with me. I own a Macbook Pro, I bought it brand new in May 2011. I'm running the first OS X Lion. I've never had a problem with it before until last weekend. Basically, I was on my computer and I took a drink of water. Goes down the wrong tube, I coughed, and a little bit of water ended up on the trackpad. About 15 minutes later the trackpad started to act up. The symptoms were:
-Cursor moves on its own. Kinda like someone else is controlling it.
-Desktops change randomly, even if I'm not actually touching the trackpad at the moment.
-The more complex trackpad shortcuts activate on their own.
-All two-, three-, and four-finger shortcuts would not work
So it seemed like obvious water damage. But, one thing I couldn't figure out was that these glitches wouldn't start right away. It would usually take about 5-10 minutes after starting to use the computer before the glitches would start showing up. And they'd come in gradually. First the cursor starts moving on its own a little bit... a few minutes later the cursor is going wild, the desktops are shuffling, yadda yadda yadda. Two days ago that "5-10 minutes after starting" part regressed down to right away.
That happened on Friday, and at that point I knew I was going to have to take my computer to a repair shop, so I turned it off completely and didn't use it for all of Saturday. Today, I turned on the computer just so I could check my e-mail and whatnot, expecting to have to fight through all those pains in the a** glitches all the while...... and nothing has happened. The cursor is a little glitchy, but that's about it. In fact, the more I type the more minor symptoms I'm seeing appear right now. But nothing major... just little glitches that could easily be caused by having all my memory occupied.
Clearly, I'm going to take it to a shop to at least make sure. But ultimately what I'm getting at is.. I want to hear any one's input on what they think the problem might be, because I'm at my wit's end. Is this water damage? Are the trackpad functions slowly coming back because the water is like, I don't know... evaporating? Is there a chance that there's a much bigger problem that I'm going to have to deal with?
Thanks in advance!No hair dryer ... that focuses heat which is very bad.
No rice ... that lets dust inside the system.
Leave it turned off and unplugged from the wall.
Water can corrode and short-circuit electronics. Until a qualified repair person looks inside, the truth cannot be known. And I at least choose to not guess and mislead you.
As to repair cost, I again choose not to set what is likely an incorrect expectation.
Good luck. -
Random buffering that never ends [Flash/HTML5]
So, interesting opportunity to learn something new! ;)
What is wrong: buffering. At first I thought I have problems with Flash alone, but this isn't true. Any video [be it on Youtube or Twitch, Flash player or HTML5 player, doesn't matter] randomly will stop. I will see the buffer "icon" and... nothing happens. Ever. I can leave it for as long as I want, it will not budge.
On Twitch.tv it's a bit different, it will pause the stream for a solid minute and then "restart" itself.
Cleared cache, session files, updated Flash, used Ccleaner as well. Don't want to go through creating a new profile yet (a bit of a hassle), trying to figure out what might be causing the issue. As I said, it's very random, sometimes happens in short video on Youtube, sometimes I can watch long videos without much problem.
And no, my internet is not the issue, double checked on that.
