Cf card keeps remounting even when empty

I use a compact flash card reader to upload my photos. Lately my cf card keeps remounting after an eject even though it is empty (I auto-delete after upload). I could spend all day ejecting the card from the finder and then watching it immediately remount. I have to yank the card out of the reader quickly after an eject or I get a nastygram window. Not sure if this is an incompatibility between the latest Tiger and my card reader or what but it's annoying.

I purchased a new cf card reader (PNY) and it doesn't have this problem. So apparently macs are a bit fussy when it comes to card reader compatibility.

try restoring the device with iTunes (after backing up)

Hi apple, I have currently got a visa $50 gift card. I put it on my iTunes account I have currently ran out of funds on the card. Now even when I try to download free apps or even update, it says it requires a new credit card. Is there a way around this?

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you have a credit card on your account then it needs to be valid. Have you tried removing it from yoru account ? On your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.

Do my itunes purchases keep downloading even when I'm not signed into itunes?

I don't have enough time for my purchases to download completely, and I need to sign out of my itunes account, and I was just wondering, if I sign out without pausing my downloads, will they keep downloading? Because this is what I'm actually hoping for. It would be great if they could keep downloading even when I'm not signed in. I just don't know if they do or not.

Hi junebeez,
Have you gone into Settings and turned off the Sync Courses and Notes option? If not, try doing this:
Go to Settings>iTunes U>Sync Courses and Notes, and see if it is = On. If it is, turn it Off and see if that fixes the problem.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions

The flashlight in my iphone 4s keeps lighting even when it is switched off. I went through many articles and in those was mentioned presence of humidity could be one reason, but my phone was not prone to such conditions & it is the condition when i took it from its pouch. Kindly help

If the phone is offline there is no way to track it or send a message to it. You can place it in lost mode to lock it and send it a message (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0f0165), but this will not take place until the phone goes back online, if it ever does. If it does, you will get an email informing you.

Cookies keep coming even when not supposed to

I have been reading about evil Google bypassing Safari cookie settings, but it isn't just Google that seems to be finding a way in.
I have set prefs only to accept from places I visit not from 3rd parties or advertisers, yet I just went to a site and came away with cookies from google, google analytics and NINE apparent advertisers on the site's page.
Now, every time I use the browser, I finish the session and delete a lot of cookies. I do not have the option of choosing to block all cookies as many sites I visit regularly require a cookie for the site to function such as banks, financial sites, StatCounter, web mail, and others - even Apple wants cookies. I have even tested by turning on block all along with private browsing and still will often get google crap cookies.
The situation doesn't seem to be as prevalent on the iPad, though I now have 12 cookies from phobos.apple.com which just recently seemed to be appearing and multiplying.
i don't even use google, but use Yahoo for searches, yet I am removing google cookies multiple times in a day and getting really sick of those information theives planting their cookies on me!!!!! I just checked while posting this item and found I got a Google cookie after arriving on this forum and it had been cleared out immediately before I logged into the Apple forum.
We need a way to flag cookies as junk (like in Mail) to block specific cookies from invading our privacy such as "We do no evil" Google.

I had this problem last night. I submitted this bug under the SAFRI> Report bugs to Apple menu>
Please resubmit if I didn't report that the correct way.
Error in Safari Privacy Settings Description. I've been trying to figure out why deleted cookies keep populating all night. I've tried everything from resetting safari completely to deleting certain folders. The prompt asks "Block cookies?" and I had tried setting both from third parties and "always" then removing and they keep repopulating even without browsing. in fact, all i needed was to switch tabs on the privacy window and a lot of cookies would be back by the time I switch back. This morning after seeing this page, I tried the "Never"(block cookies) option and the only thing it repopulates is a cookie"apple.com". The problem is with the "always" setting, websites like facebook and google think I'm blocking cookies when it really is allowing everything. Please review your code and iron out this section. Then hire me.
In summary,
Always block cookies> deleted cookies comeback after a couple of seconds> facebook and google think you're blocking cookies and won't allow you in.
Never block cookies > only apple.com repopulates > allows facebook, but added a facebook cookie after i visited the site(didn't try google) (minutes later akamai cookie)
Block cookies from third parties and advertisers > deleted cookies come back after a couple of seconds >allows facebook and google, but not sure if it's blocking or allowing third parties
oh and as soon as you click on a radio button other than never, the cookie list gets full again.

Podcasts keep synching even when podcasts aren't selected to sync

Help?
I have podcasts in my iTunes that I have checked, so I can listen to them on my iPhone, BUT they keep synching with my 80gig iPod even though I have unchecked "sync podcasts" in the tabs when my iPod syncs.
I restored my iPod and it keeps happening. I'm guessing that somehow these podcasts are in one of my nearly 100 playlists. However, shouldn't unchecking "sync podcasts" override them from being synched even if they are in a playlist? It used to until the last two iTunes updates.

Er...it says the question is answered, but there's only one post in the thread...
This is my first post, so let me know if I'm missing something...sorry, thanks!
Anyhow, I'm having precisely the same problem - 80Gb iPod and 8Gb iPhone 3g.
My podcasts keep syncing to my iPod, even though I've unchecked sync podcasts. (I've currently got 'sync all unplayed episodes', but I've still got the same problem of getting everything on the iPod.)

Measurement output keeps drifting, even when the input channel are shorted out.

Dear Technical Engineer,
Greetings!
Currently, we are conducting a voltage measuring experiment with your DAQ card "NI PCIe-6353". The voltage we are concerning is a slow variable ranging from 0-20mV.
However, we met some problems operating your device.
1.When the input channel is vacant (no connection to any voltage output), the measurement curve displayed in the test panel (built in your driver) keeps drifting (from some point to -10V, then slowly upwards to +10V, then downwards...), but not stays at 0V.
2.The moment we connect the input channel to a DC stabilized power supply (2V), the measurement curve displays a quick step, but not step to 2V. Then, it continues to drift downwards.
3.When we short out the input channel (for example, connect “33 A1” with “32 A1 GND”), the measurement output still keeps drifting, but not displays 0.
Thus, we wonder if some settings should be regulated, or if there is something wrong with our operations, or there is an additional grounding option that we missed, or the device just breaks down. Could you please give us your valuable suggestions?
If you need any more informations, please do not hesitate to contact us (email:[email protected]). Thanks for your time and attention! We are looking forward to your kind reply.
Best,
Xianke

Hi Xianke,
It sounds like you may have your measurement configured in differential mode. If so, then you should read 0V when you short pin 66 AI1- to pin 33 AI1. Do you see this same behavior on other channels?
It looks like the default input configuration is differential, so you can also leave your wiring as it is, and change to RSE.

Macbook DVD drive repeats eject sequence even when empty

Giving an old macbook (first model, white, 2006) away to a friend. He wanted Windows7 on it (don't ask ) so I got a copy from him and installed. Decided to use the bootcamp of Snow Leopard above Leopard, since Windows7 wasn't released yet when Leopard was released. Still I was a bit ambivalent as I didn't know if it would be suited to the rather old hardware of the macbook. All seemed to go well but after installation of the drivers of the Bootcamp CD I ejected the dvd drive and it started acting weird. What it does now is it keeps ejecting the drive, whether there's a cd in there or not. When I inject a cd (or dvd, no difference), I have to wait for the eject/load sequence to play out since it's locking the cd drive in between. When the cd/dvd is in, the drive won't read it, instead it will rumble a bit and eventually (about 20 seconds) spit out the CD.
Seems like a rather small coincidence that the drive, after all these years, would fail at this exact moment in time.... thinking there's something else to blaim but not sure how to proceed. What are your tips?

Nobody have any ideas or suggestions as to what steps I might undertake to solve this? Anything is helpful, thanks!

Audio keeps playing even when move away from slide

I am using Captivate 5 and have incorporated TTS voiceovers. I have an introduction slide where a voice gives the scenario, with back and next buttons. The Next button goes on to a demonstration (part of the same project) with a different voice narrating. The demo screens have a button to exit the demo at any time also. If a user is playing the scenario and selects the Back button, the second voice from the demo continues anyway, even though the demo hasn't displayed. By the same token, if you start working through the demo and exit from it using the button provided, the voice continues as if you play the rest of the demo, even if you have moved onto different slides. If you start a second demo, both voices play at the same time. I tried using the check box to turn off audio when button clicked, but that actually turns off the audio on the computer and either no audio is heard at all then, or it just turns off for that slide, then the next slide's audio plays, regardless of what screen is displayed. How do I make the audio stop if I exit the slide or slide sequence (project)?

Thanks Ashwin
I hope I have done this correctly, I have shared part of the Captivate project at https://acrobat.com/#d=wxfp*GeqGu-77HjzL1DHww
If you navigate to slide 3 of 27. Answer the question. Then, as you read the success or failure caption, you will also hear audio associated with those captions. Now, navigate to the next page before the audio has completed playing and you will also hear the audio of slide 4 overlapping.
The audio from the success /failure captions do not stop playing when moving to the next slide. I hope there is a way around this, as I really want to have audio with the success/failure captions as well as the page audio.
thanks

RANT: Why does screen keep dimming even when "DIM" is disabled?

ARGH this is buggin' me!
I turned off the dim under custom in energy saver. i am reading a document and it keeps dimming and it's annoying as doo doo. anything i can do?

What about the option of "Automatically adjust
brightness as ambient light changes" in
Preferences/Displays?
William
William - anyone with this problem I can guarantee
shut off every screen dimming option.
I have this issue. It seems to be intermittent.
What seems to improve it - Restarting, or unplugging
and re-plugging in the mag safe charger.
These have been my only solution. I have even turned
off all display changes for battery power so that
there shouldn't be any "confusing" factors for the
computer.
I wouldn't care so much about this issue if it wasn't
for the screen whine with decreased brightness.
I trust apple will fix this with software or firmware
updates.
I checked my 1.67 PB 15", it does what is being described. Software?

Does Apple mail app take 1.7 GB even when empty?

I emptied out my trash, my junk, and threw away all incoming …. nothing left. But my usage still says I'm using
1.7GB in my mail app ….. is that as empty as it gets?

Hi BKDubble,
I'm sorry to hear you are having these issues with your iPhone. If you are having an issue with a mismatch in the reported storage space for Mail in iOS on your iPhone, you may want to make sure you have a current backup of your data, then try the following troubleshooting steps (the article is aimed at a slightly different issue, but the steps can also be helpful for storage reporting issues):
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Regards,
- Brenden

Why apps keep opened even when turning the iPhone 5 off then on?

Hi guys, please tell me if this is the current bahviour of iPhone, when turning the device off, with many apps opened in the background, turning it on again, it keeps opened! It's like hibernating your computer, isn't it?
Thank you

They don't.
What makes you think the apps are still open after restarting the phone?
If you are looking at the app icons at the bottom of the screen when you double-tap the home button, then those are NOT running apps. That is simply a list of recently used apps. Which apps you have recently used does not change when restarting the phone.
Most apps on the iPhone do not run in the background anyway.

Keeping some items when emptying the trash

I've gathered a lot of trash since I got my MacBook last year and would like to clean up. Is there a way to select files from 2008 and delete those trash items only? Or can I lock 2009 trash items and then use the empty trash button to delete the other items? I seldom access a trashed item, but it would be comforting to know the more recent junk is still there ... just in case.
I use Time Machine for a backup, so I assume that if this doesn't work, I could access an earlier version of the trash basket to find and recover a deleted file. Or could I?
Thanks,
Charles

Hi Charles;
Trash is an extremely poor place to store anything. Time Machine like most good backup tools ignores Trash when it backs up so you will not be able to recover anything that was in Trash from it.
To answer your original question there is no simple way of doing what you are asking to do. Probably the best thing for you to do is create another folder and move everything out of Trash. This will get backed up. Then you can go through and move files to Trash and empty it immediately.

Won't Sleep, Occasional Crashes From PCI Card...Even When It's Out?!?

i put a cheap best buy USB card in my powermac. it's not a NEC chipset card, so it caused problems. the computer wouldn't go to sleep, and it crashed at seemingly random times.
so i took the card out, but the computer still won't go to sleep. does the computer think it's still in there?

What other USB devices do you have connected?
