Bug with JPEGs in Notes.

I can't find anywhere else to submit this, so...
When placing JPEG files within an iPod Classic's Notes, the files (when viewed) are always scaled to a maximum of 320x216px, so that they fit on the screen. (Fun fact: the title bar is exactly 20px high, and when viewing images in Notes, a 4px-high strip of space at the bottom of the screen is reserved for... absolutely nothing.)
Armed with this information, I attempted to make some files that fit the iPod's screen perfectly when viewed from Notes -- that is, some JPEGs that are exactly 320x216px.
Problem is, the iPod has some kind of bug in its resizing algorithm. Attempting to view a JPEG Note that is exactly 320x216px will cause the iPod's OS to spontaneously and forcibly reboot, as if you had held Menu+Select. The image becomes viewable if either of its dimensions are changed by at least one pixel, but since the iPod's resizing function is absolutely dreadful, this is far from a desirable solution. The bug, then, is that images that don't need resizing crash the iPod (ten bucks says it's a divide-by-zero error resulting from unwise coding shortcuts).
My question is: how do I report this to Apple? I can't seem to find a bug report form anywhere. (I also Googled the problem extensively in a fruitless attempt to find a workaround; apparently, I am the first human being to have ever experienced this problem.)
On a side note: if anyone else is experiencing this problem, here are a few (and probably the only) possible workarounds. (And this is the other reason I'm posting it: to make the issue Googleable.)
1. Resize the image, defying your perfectionism and leaving the image's quality in the hands of the iPod's terrible resizing algorithm.
2. Find Apple's apparently non-existent iPod bug report form, report the bug, and wait for a patch... A patch that probably won't be made, because almost everyone has an iTouch now, and the iClassic is so 2008. (sigh)
3. Give up, and put the files in your Photos even though they should logically be grouped in and accessed under Notes. (Photos can be 320x420px (a perfect fit for full-screen images) without crashing the iPod.)
4. Hack the iPod's firmware and fix the glitch yourself, because you're just that hardcore.

Yes, I had the same problem. Originally, I just ignored the missing icons - I didn't change the preferences that often anyway. Then I tried changing the --with-appspath compiletime option since I was recompiling anyway (with a patch that removes GNUstep menus from the alt-tab switch panel), but appspath doesn't seem to be used anymore.
Today, I worked out a solution. Placing the binary in same directory as the icons makes WPrefs display its icons again. If you don't want to rebuild the package, you can copy /usr/share/WPrefs/ to somewhere in your $HOME, and copy /usr/bin/WPrefs into your copy of the WPrefs directory. You then, of course, have to make sure you launch WPrefs from this copy of the binary, not from /usr/bin/WPrefs.
The somewhat cleaner solution is to rebuild the pkg with the following code added right after the "make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install" line in the PKGBUILD:
# help WPrefs find its resources
cd $startdir/pkg/usr
mv bin/WPrefs share/WPrefs/WPrefs
echo -e '#!/bin/shncd /usr/share/WPrefsnexec ./WPrefs' > bin/WPrefs
chmod 755 bin/WPrefs

  • Bugs with Custom Status not getting displayed on Product Backlog and Sprint Backlog

    We added a couple of new states to the Work Item Type of Bug. We want all the bugs to show up in the Sprint Backlog items.
    In order to do this we added the custom states in Common Process Configuration file using witadmin and also in the Workflow tab of "Bug" using TFS Power Tools.
    The excerpts from the Common Configuration file for this is: 
    <BugWorkItems singularName="Bug" pluralName="Bugs" category="Microsoft.BugCategory">
       <States>
          <State value="New" type="Proposed"/>
          <State value="Open" type="Proposed"/>
          <State value="Deferred" type="Proposed"/>
          <State value="Approved" type="Proposed"/>
          <State value="Committed" type="InProgress"/>
          <State value="Ready
    For QA" type="InProgress"/>
          <State value="Devlopment
    in Progress" type="InProgress"/>
          <State value="Done" type="Complete"/>
          <State value="Closed" type="Complete"/>
          <State value="Reopen" type="Complete"/>
          <State value="Fixed" type="Complete"/>
       </States>
    </BugWorkItems>
    I assumed that this should have been sufficient to display all the Bug Work Items with these custom states.
    So, I created a new bug that had the state of "New" in the system. It was visible in the Product Backlog.
    When I changed the same work item's state from New to
    Open and save, the bug is removed from the backlog with this message.
    [Title] was removed because of your recent changes.
    The following changes removed the item:
    State was set to: Open
    Even after refreshing the page, the same work item does not appear in the product backlog page or the Sprint Backlog page.
    Any idea why this could happen?

    Hi Augustya,
    I'd like to know the version of TFS you're using, and how did you customize the Common Process Configuration file for display the bugs on backlog page.
    You can add bugs or other work item types to appear in either the task board or the product backlog, but not both. I have a try and it wroks for me, you can follow the links below to add bugs to the backlog pages and check if it works.

  • Wierd Coherence bug with keySet() / entrySet() not returning all data.

    So I have a cache with 3 key/values in it.
    If I call cache (over extend) with specific keys, i get all values back.
    Object valueA = namedCache.get("A");
    Object valueB = namedCache.get("B");
    Object valueC = namedCache.get("C");
    i.e. valueA/B/C are all not null.
    If I now try to use keySet()/entrySet(), I only get 1 value back.
    eg:
    int cacheSize= namedCache.size(); //cache size is 3
    int keySetSize = namedCache.keySet(); //cache size is 3
    int actualKeySetSize = (new HashSet(namedCache.keySet())).size(); // actual size is 1
    The same happens if I iterate over keyset/entryset, i.e. there is only 1 value in the result.
    I have 2 storage nodes, JMX shows 1 node has 1 unit and other node shows cache has 2 units.
    Are there any known bugs where above can occur, we are using Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.3/465p3.
    i.e. keySet/entrySet not returning full result sets!
    Cheers,
    Neville.

    Apparently a timing issue between the "creation" of a cache, and the processing of requests against that cache. Because of the nature of the cache creation protocol, it is possible for the client creating the cache to return before all storage members have been notified of the cache name. It is therefore possible for cache requests to arrive at a storage member before that member has had a chance to instantiate its backing map.
    Fix is part of 3.6.0 GA, and is now slated to be back ported for 3.5.3p8.
    Have tested against 3.6 and all looks ok now.

  • Bug with Image Sequence ( not loading/using all files ) for time lapse creation

    Hello everybody!
    PhotoShop CC 2014
    I am looking to create a time lapse out of 240 still photos that I took with my DSLR, but I am facing what probably is a bug, or a mistake on my part.
    I have all the photos in JPEG format with proper naming & sequential numbers ( DSC001 to DSC240 ).
    I'm creating a new document, selecting Film & Video, then by using the Layer -> Video Layers -> New Video Layer from file... and selecting the first image of the sequence I load the photos.
    Since the output is 1080p, and my photos are captured at 24MP, I convert them to a Smart Object as requested by photoshop when trying to resize them to fit them in the 1080p resolution.
    I then set the time lapse frame rate to 24fps and when I proceed to Render the video, in the Render Video dialogue, the frames to be used in the "Range" section are less than the frames that I've got.
    Instead of 240, it shows 219.
    I have the "Allow Frame Skipping" option unchecked of course
    Your help is really appreciated!

    If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
    As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so 
    they are at least two versions old.
    Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many 
    other products on the market which do a much better job of creating 
    and maintaining this type of navigation structure.

  • Elements 10 canvas not working with tiff images; works fine with jpegs. What to do?

    Elements 10 canvas not working with tiff images; works fine with jpegs. What to do? It does not allow me to add a colored canvas, only a blank canvas.

    Perhaps some of the tiffs are already layers.
    In other words, since jpegs don't support layers, they all ways open with one locked background layer, but the tiff format does
    support layers so the tiffs don't have to have a locked background layer and can already be a regular layer that supports transparency.
    For the tiffs you could add a new color fill layer below and use the color you want the enlarged canvas to be.
    On pse 10 look at the bottom of the layers panel for the new adjustment of fill layer icon

    You can do just about anything with a JPEG image that you can with a raw image. The advantage of working with raw is that it is possible to work with more extremes in exposure. More highlights and shadows can be recovered in a raw image, but there is a lot that can be done with JPEG images as well. All of the library functions and keywording and all the other features of Lightroom can be used on JPEG images just as easily as they can be used on raw images.
    Having said all that, you might be more comfortable using Photoshop Elements. Both programs have trial versions that you can use for 30 days to decide which one or whether both will work for you. It would probably be to your advantage to try them out and decide for yourself.

    * Hunting to a new channel within a channelset never triggered a disconnect from the previous channel(s).

In this case, the first channelset hunts past it and connects on a later channel. But when the second channelset hunts through (triggering a connect fault when it hits that initial shared channel that can't connect), the fault is processed by the first channelset as well (incorrectly).

    hi, I finally got lucky and past the "other" memory status issues when syncing. Now I'm "waiting for changes to be applied" sync stuck all night (itunes yesomite iPhone 6 plus). is this a bug? I have not had a single successful sync with yesomite.
    please help. this issue prevents music from syncing. I have set the sync setting to convert songs to 192kbps AAC to save space, I figure that could slow the sync
    down, but it's hanging indefinitely (I've left it for 24 hours with out it completing.)
    the the only music that appears on the phone are songs purchased from the iTunes Store. 95% of my collection are rips from my CDs.
    thank you for any help!

    Yeah it's pretty sad that $1000 phone they put out you such cheap memory It causes issues, I have iPhone 6+128 GB actually this is the second brand-new one they gave me because they keep affording it trying to act like that's not the issue because they're too stupid to know how to check what memory is in each one before they give it to me when I have told them multiple times my back up runs perfectly fine on two 5s phones and a 6 64GB of course running MLC memory.
    I told them it's because just like the write ups say I have 809 apps but I have not even put all my music on the phone so I'm still running 50 to 60 gigs free and it crashes and reboots itself sometimes in multitasking and more often than it does that in between multitasking I get a black screen for 1 to 2 seconds in between apps and upon start up the Apple logo screen will flicker and do weird things, One of the genius idiots asked me if I could just delete some of my apps, really that's the answer to fix the phone the customer needs to limit the amount to apps they put on their phone, why the **** get a 128 gig if you can't put on anything you want to it guess they need to start selling them saying you can only put a limited number of apps on them, it's really is a **** joke, I have over $20,000 of Apple merchandise easily and always get the new phone every year but I'm starting to reconsider my decisions in the future because this company is starting to go downhill, The reason water not recalling the phones is because they're dealing with their top-of-the-line thousand dollar phones in this case and most people don't have over two or 300 apps so they're not having as many issues, so basically they have messed up phones they just don't know it in their hands and Apple is just too **** greedy to recall the phones, they'd rather sell customer spends that only work half ***.
    Stuff like this will be the downfall of their company, all the people that stay with them because as long as you don't jailbreak their stuff it normally just works without issue will be soon jumping ship if stuff like this keeps up, because I can guarantee they got me thinking now.
    not that I wanted to know or should I be expected to but I even offered for them to open up my brand-new phone and just replace the memory to MLC memory which is something I shouldn't have to do with a brand-new **** phone, they should just make one with the right memory and give me a new phone, actually just don't sell customers that buy the top-of-the-line phone from you trash ones in the first place that would be a great option.
    what burns me up the most is when you talk to AppleCare and Genius Bar they try to act like the issue isn't there and they're unaware of it, they say that Apple hasn't come out with any information about it, yeah that's because they don't want to recall the trash.
    Apple has became nothing better than your run-of-the-mill company, android is becoming just as good as they are sad to say this since I have been an Apple fan for so long but there is no excuse for BS like this they have been looking for options to fix my phone for a month now this is not the way you should treat loyal customers, I would've been better off keeping my 5S and in the future just switching to android.
    it's pretty sad that the company has no idea how to check which memory is in their **** phone and even after I offered to let them just replace the memory in my new phone by opening up my brand-new phone to replace it they have no idea how to do that either, yeah Genius Bar sure, I think that should change the name to idiot bar and Apple don't care instead of Apple care.

  • Possible Bug with SqlDataAdapter.Fillschema DataColumn.Unique values are not populated.

    Hi all,
    I have done a lot of searching for answer to this problem this evening and so far have not found a solution but have found multiple people with the same issue.
    When using SqlDataAdapter.FillSchema() from a table that contains a Primary Key and columns with Unique constraints the only DataColumn.Unique value to be populated is the Primary Key.
    From reading the MSDN entry for dbDataAdapter this is not the intended functionality
    Can anyone suggest avenues to try or where to raise this issue if the method truly is not functioning as intended?

    Hello HarborneD,
    >>When using SqlDataAdapter.FillSchema() from a table that contains a Primary Key and columns with Unique constraints the only DataColumn.Unique value to be populated is the Primary Key.
    From your description, it is not very clear how your table is defined, I tried to reproduce this issue with below table(not sure if it is similar with yours, if not, please share it with us):
    CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T20141230] (
    [ID] INT NOT NULL,
    [Name] NCHAR (10) NULL,
    [Birthday] DATETIME NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED ([ID] ASC),
    CONSTRAINT uc_PersonID UNIQUE ([Name])
    And the code used to full the schema:
    SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(@"Server=(localdb)\Projects;Database=ADO.NET;Trusted_Connection=True;");
    try
    con.Open();
    SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("select * from [T20141230]", con);
    SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter(cmd);
    DataTable dt = new DataTable();
    da.FillSchema(dt, SchemaType.Mapped);
    da.Fill(dt);
    catch (Exception)
    finally
    con.Close();
    However, I could all columns populated with values from database. I used VS2013, .NET 4.5 and windows 8.1, you could have a try with my demo.

  • Anyone else having trouble opening CMYK PDFs from Photoshop CC with JPEG 'high' compression?

    (Cross-post from the Photoshop forum, where I was asked to post in the Acrobat forum: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5553829 )
    When I save a PDF file in Photoshop CC in CMYK color with JPEG compression (quality = high), it will save without any errors. However, when I open the file in Acrobat (11.0.3), I get an "Out of Memory" pop up error. I press Ok, and the document is just displayed as a blank white image.
    I'm using Win7 64-bit, Photoshop CC 64-bit. Plenty of memory (24GB) and allocated RAM in preferences, and I've done some troubleshooting that leads me to believe the error is not due to system memory, but rather a specific bug in the software. I have Photoshop CS6 on the same machine, and if I open the PSD, save as PDF with the above settings, everything is fine when I open it using Acrobat. This seems to just be for Photoshop CC, not CS6.
    Here is the troubleshooting I've done so far:
    PDF format, RGB color, any other settings --> Acrobat can open the file.
    PDF format, CMYK, no compression --> Acrobat can open the file.
    PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [medium] --> Acrobat can open the file.
    PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [high] --> Acrobat can NOT open the file because it encounters the "out of memory" error.
    PDF format, CMYK, JPEG compression [maximum] --> Acrobat can open the file.
    This is silly. I don't get it. Can anyone else confirm this problem for me?
    Updated:
    Like you said, there isn't enough information to rule out an issue with Photoshop CC, as the same action using Photoshop CS6 results in a usable file.
    New information (while making files for uploading):
    The error only occurs with CMYK files of larger dimensions. On a 500x500px image, Acrobat throws out "A drawing error has occured". a 2500x2500px image runs into the "Out of memory" error. In either case, Acrobat cannot successfully open the file generated by Photoshop CC, while it can if it was made using Photoshop CS6.

    Another observation for what it is worth (not a solution again). I was able to open all 3 PDFs in Irfanview as graphics. The properties of the image were
    The major changes for the others within the JPegs was the number of pixels (133X133) and the size (1.4inX1.4in). There is also a reduction in the number of colors.
    Just for information, I opened the big JPeg in Acrobat (9.5.5) and it opened fine. However, it looks like the color space was changed as shown below:
    Even if I change the input to use CMYK and not RGB, it looks like it gets converted to RGB. I haven't spent time to figure out the preflight analysis properly, but at least this may give you some info back.
