Craziness in X, not in 9

I'm getting the crazy colored lines and the crazy colored box around the cursor indicative of the logic board problem (would be my 2nd time), but only when booted from a CD or when in OSX. When in 9.2.2, no issues. Is this normal? Does the LB problem not manifest itself in OS 9?

The "colored lines thing" certainly sounds like the logic board, all right. But if the graphics chip is loose, it's going to show those lines across all formats.
As I said, sometimes it will work intermittently. Is it possible that you are seeing this intermittent working while in Single User Mode and OS 9? Have you stayed there for an hour or longer to see if it ever breaks up?
If it has the colored lines on a CD boot, it's obvious it's not your OS X installation (even without having done the Erase and Install). Puzzling.
Check out the iBook Logic Board Repair Extension Program FAQ page. You may want to give Apple a call. If your iBook qualifies for the repair, it's a free fix. I've never heard of it being the selective problem you are seeing, however.
If you are past the three-year time limit (as a 700 MHz iBook almost certainly is), try calling and asking for Customer Relations (NOT Customer Service--they can't help you) and ask them to please make an exception to the three-year limit in your case.
Good luck!

Default preloader is ruining my project and driving me crazy... not asking for much here.

I have tried for weeks now to find a simple way to add my logo and maybe text that says "now loading - please wait, etc", however, I have yet to find a SIMPLE way to do this. Every tutorial I have found shows how to add actionscript, or a moving progress bar with percentages, etc. These tutorials are not for designers, nor are they simple for beginers. If it truly is that difficult to add a simple logo (image) and maybe text to the default flex preloading screen (doesnt have to have the progess bar), I do not see the benefit to Catalyst for designers who care about the "first appearance" of their project.
PLEASE, if anyone can walk me through the simple way of adding an image, video, text, or whatever to the loading screen that would be great. As for now I have many hours of work sitting standby because the loading page and false hope in catalyst. SURELY there must a solution.
I REALLY appreciate any help!
Thanks for listening.

Unfortunately preoloaders are tough issue. I am sure if you work through carefully one of those tutorials you would be able to do. But, as an alternate solution, you could contact a local Flash or Flex user group and see if a member there could help you out. Or even an online group. Just be aware, once it is taken into Flash Builder (which it will be), it can not be reopened in Flash Catalyst.
Good luck!

Battery drains like crazy, and now not charging fully! 3GS

My 3GS was 100% at 9am. I got a text message at 9:36am, and the battery was at 97%, so I went to reply to it. My phone shut off, like it had a dead battery, so I put it on the charger. About two minutes later, it turned back on and said it was at 62% battery! So, I kept it on the charger. It got to 72% and wouldn't charge any more. I took it off the charger for a moment before putting it back on. It wwent up to 73% and said it was full. I did that a couple more times, but it stopped charging once it hit 74%, so I'm not sure what to do. I need my phone! I don't have a land-line, so this is the only way I can communicate with my family, friends, potential employers, etc.
(I was having the problem of the phone shutting off before I upgraded to OS5, but it got worse once I upgraded.)

It has never been dropped in water, and the closest it ever gets to water is being in my pocket or bag when it rains. I did a full restore, and it got worse...

IPad does crazy things when not touched

Basically, I'll be going along on an app or on safari or anything and then randomly my iPad will just start doing crazy things, and I can't do anything. So for example, I'll be on safari and then my iPad will scroll up to the top of the page, type in the address bar some random numbers and letters and just keep doing that. And then the only way (sometimes) to stop it is to lock the screen, but sometimes that doesn't even work and I then can't even unlock the iPad for a few seconds. I've tried restoring it but that doesn't do anything. Is there anything else I could try or should I just take it to a genius bar?

You may need to get it back to Apple, but this is worth a try if you haven't done it already.
Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch any app, surf the net, whatever, and see what happens.

Going crazy! Objects not becoming hidden . . .

Hi,
I have a bunch of checkboxes and each one corresponds to a subform that becomes visible when the checkbox is either on (1) or neutral (2). The subforms are hidden until the box is checked. But if I make a mistake while using the form in Adobe and check a box I don't need, when I uncheck it, the subform is not becoming hidden again.
The first part of the code works fine:
if (eqc812.rawValue == 1|2) {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").presence="visible";
The rest that I have tried don't work at all!
else if (eqc812.rawValue == 0) {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").presence="hidden";
else {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").presence="hidden";
else if (eqc812.rawValue == 0) {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").display=display.hidden;
else {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").display=display.hidden;
else if (eqc812.rawValue == 0) {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").hidden=true;
else {
xfa.resolveNode("EQC812").hidden=true;
As for display=display.hidden and hidden=true, if I recreated the visible part of the code with it, it made the visible part not work either. And I tried replacing "hidden" with "invisible".
I have made other forms where the if else if statement worked fine to make things visible and hidden. Please help me, I am SOOO frusterated!!

Hi,
I have never had call to use the on/off/neutral checkbox before, so yes I now see the binding. In essence it is still the same process - instead of testing two possible options, you are testing for three.
A couple of things, when using "or", it is better to use a double || which is a logical OR.
Seeing #subform[0] implies that the subform is not named. It is a really good ides (imho) to name subforms as you go, so that it makes it much easier to reference in script. It depends on the volume of script in your form, but I would be inclined to name them.
When you are in the script editor, if you hover over an object that you want to reference and press and old Control, the mouse will change into a 'V'. When you click the object it will insert the full reference into the script for you. Do this a couple of times, when objects are in unnamed subforms or on the master page and you will see when LC automatically uses xfa.resolveNode. When the objects are named, it will just give the minimum SOM.
xfa.resolveNode is needed sometimes. Like when you assign an object to a variable - when you want to use that variable to alter the object, you need to resolve it first. Also if there are unnamed objects or subforms, then the object has to be resolved. Where you have two objects sitting in the same subform and they have different names, then you don't need to resolve the nodes. I would be inclined to drop the xfa.resolveNode where possible. As far as I can recall it adds to the overload in a form, as it needs to continually go off an resolve objects in the middle of the script.
In relation to your counter I would be inclined to drop the xfa.resolveNode; change to || and check the events that the scripts are in (to make sure that they are firing at the correct time).
Good luck,
Niall

My "update all" buton will not work in the app store. It gives me a message saying there is not enough storage to update.. I know i have storage left on the phone. I even bought more icloud storage. Any ideas??? Please help??? thanks

My update all button will not work in the app store. It keeps giving me a crazy message about not having enough storage to update apps. Please help? I know i have storgage on icloud and on the phone itself. Any ideas? Thanks

Try deleting the old backup.
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the device name and on the resulting screen, scroll down and tap on Delete Backup.

I need more INPUT (not MENU) languages in my E90!

Though E90 Communicator is awesome in majority of functions, usability and comparatively perfect in production quality, it lacks some features that I as business-user definitely need.
The most disappointing issue for me is the language issue. While the "normal" phones have 6 to 8 languages pro firmware/product code, the E90 has only 3!!! (Maybe 4 in APAC region but i do not care.)
I'll try to explain shortly. As a businessman who lives in Germany and is a native Russian-speaker, I have a LOT of partners/clients/friends who do prefer to have a communication profile with me in Russian. I have almost the same amount of people with whom I need to communicate in German or French. The tragic truth is that I cannot approach this with the actual firmware situation on E90.
If I would buy my Nokia E90 in Russia, I would get the predefined languages of English, Russian and Ukrainian. That is nice, but in this case I cannot write in German as it should be written, saying with Ö, Ä, Ü, ß and so on. I also could not use some of the French special characters. If I would use E90 only as a SMS machine, it might be OK. But I use it more likely as a travel PC replacement the device pretend to be, so I use e-mail and document editing, where the lack of those characters are intolerable.
Besides all, I live in Germany and am a client of German service provider, so why should I probably buy the device outside of Germany? So think I and so I doing, saying I renewed my service contract and bought the E90.
In German firmware I got another three (!!!) languages: German, English and Turkish. Wonderful. I may speak out about the pure discrimination from the Nokia side: in Germany we have the same amount of Russian speakers as Turkish fellow ones, both about 8,000,000 persons each. ;-) So why Turkish and not Russian, Italian or French? Every of those "communities" has equal rights, am I right?! Hei, Nokia! Do you hear my voice?!
Is it really so hard to understand, that an ULTIMATE BUSINESS SOLUTION as E90 definitely would be preferred by the people, who really use it - really intensive - as a communication device?! Is it really hard to understand, that thousands of them would get e-mails and documents while on the road that definitely need to be urgent answered some other language than 3 preinstalled?! Should I change the firmware of my phone every time I need to answer e-mail in French or edit the financial contract for my Russian partner?!
Ridiculous and disappointing - what else should I say?! Especially because I know, that the situation as easy to fix from the Nokia side as a single mouse click.
I am sure there are people reading and writing to this Forum who needs for example Chinese Mandarin and German, or Hindi and Farsi, or Arabic and Spanish simultaniously. There is no way to understand why it is impossible to choose the INPUT languages - I do NOT speak about the MENU languages and never pretend to.
So, because this Forum is Nokia's piece of land and Nokia has kindly allowed us to cry out here what I do really appreciate, I want definitely get the answer to following questions:
1) Is it possible to add some INPUT (once again - NOT menu, just INPUT) languages to E90 firmware?
2) If yes, when?
3) If not, what is the reason? The reason - please, no "technical excuses", because I am not that stupid, OK? ;-)
We are living in such a damn globalized world, aren't we? So let's be really globalized and let's help us ourselves to get out the most from this.
Thanks to all for listening.

Since Windows 98 is absolutely not a problem to add ANY input language in ANY localized version of the OS. I do know that Symbian OS has at least the same flexibility options.
Once again: I do not pretend to have any other MENU language - I simply do not need it. But the possibility to choose more INPUT language is simply and quickly to add, that is what I am asking for.
Maybe your statistic research is right, I do not want to argue with you. More than that, this is exactly I expected as an excuse option: "Marginal request". But no, it is not. The device would probably have higher customer interest when the free input would be represented.
Your advice to use laptop instead of E90 is highly appreciated, but it is not unique enough to be accepted "as is". ;-) The idea of E90 as well as previous communicators was to give the customer an option to leave her/his laptop at home and make a 1 or 2 day business trip as lite as possible in every meaning of the word "lite". I have 2 laptops already, 1 Panasonic for traveling and IBM Z61p Workstation as a desktop replacement. I should say that Panasonic, while being one of the best travel-oriented devices on the market, with its almost 2 Kilo travel weight and about 1 minute power-up/power-down time is completely insufficient as a communicator replacement. In addition to it you need a businesscard-scanner and a digicam, you are constantly out of power and so on. It is or will be the same story with UMPC. The only option until now was HTC/Qtek 9000, the most powerful and well-equipped device on the market. But it is completely useless as a phone and its camera is a disaster, so I switched to E90 because of its awesome usability as a phone, a digicam and as a communicator simultaneously just because I HATE to carry on 12 hours a day here and there a 5 Kilo bag with laptop, phone, camera, cables, batteries and other damned stuff around. I am just SICK and TIRED of this and I dreamed about the device that can make free from all that - for YEARS!!!
I remember my conversation with Nokia people at its CeBIT Stand in late 1990-es - the concept was already here, but the materialization of my dreams took Nokia R&D almost a decade. And now, when it is already in my hands, it lacks such a damn little thing to be as perfect as possible! ;-)
I am not that crazy - "perfect" does not mean really perfect. Of course there are and there would be minor and major bugs with later fixes and improvements. Because of the possibility of fixes and improvements I insist on one of the most critical for me. I understand as well, that it needs neither additional research nor hardware changes. All you need to to do is a little software module to be added and/or replaced. The Occam Razor Rule is still in my mind. ;-)

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

Works in IE but not FireFox?

when i hosted it on a different server it worked in both browsers, now i changed to a different free host because of the mp3 file i have with the site, and some sites will not host mp3 and it only works with IE
can anyone help me out?

Video file works when downloaded in IE but not when downloaded in FF

I am constantly being sent QuickTime MOV files from a client via YouSendIt. Whenever I download the file via Firefox, it appears to download fine but it will not play the video. I get the error message "Error -2048: Couldn't open the file because it is not a file that QuickTime understands." Yet whenever I download the exact same file to the exact same desktop and try to open it with the exact same QuickTime player, but using Internet Explorer to click the download link (and handle the downloading, I suppose)... it works fine and the video plays perfectly. WTF?
All other variables are identical. The only difference here is that the file is unusable when downloaded via FireFox yet perfectly fine when downloaded via Internet Explorer. Why? How is this possible?
The only difference I can see on my desktop is that the version of a test video is 39,305,216 bytes when downloaded using FF, yet the exact same file is 39,370,752 bytes when downloaded using IE. I don't know if that's relevant information but how is this even possible since they are both downloads of the exact same file? Shouldn't both browsers neither add nor remove data from the file itself, so it should be the exact same file? Yet it's obviously different in some way, and apparently different in a way that affects the ability of QuickTime to play the file. Why would this be?

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.

IPhoto Batch Change window is not coming up when selected.

I have been using iPhoto for a couple of years now, and I would consider myself to be an intermediate user of the application. I mention this so that everyone knows that I am not crazy, and simply not doing something wrong. I am trying to perform a batch change of a few images, and when I click on batch change the window with the options will not come up. I made sure I had the latest patches, etc.. I am running the latest OS version, and I am at a loss here. I have tried doing a batch change on a single image, and multiple. I have tried images that I have done batch changes on in the past just to make sure it was not the new image files that were the issue. Nothing works. Please advise...

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Log into another account on your Mac and see it you can get it to come up there. Post back with the results. Have you repaired disk permissions lately?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Aperture now always constrains when cropping, even when it says "Do not constrain". How can I fix this?

I cannot drag the crop area beyond a certain size. It's driving me crazy -- it did not used to do that!
Thanks!

Is your Aperture version the latest version 3.4.5? If not, try to update. There have been a few bugfixes in the lates releases.
Also try, if you can create a a taller cropping rectangle on a different image and lift and stamp it onto your problematic image version.
If you cannot set the crop correctly at all,your Aperture library may need repairing or your preferences file may be corrupted.
To check if the library is the problem, export the original image and import it into a different Aperture library.Can you crop it there correctly? If yes, then repair your Aperture library. If not, remove your preferences file from your user library.
Both are explained in this document: Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics

Craziness with mounting drives

Came across my first real beef with Lion recently... drives on my laptop won't mount over the network on my iMac. I get these, a lot, and intermittendly:
But the drives on MBP eventually do mount, and I get craziness like this:
Note on the left, finder (totalfinder) shows CooCooforCocoaPuffs as a locked dir, but on the right I have complete access.
I am signing into MBP as the admin user of that laptop. Other network-dependant apps don't fair well either, such as Airserver.app having intermittent connection problems, as does ChronoSync. Copying files over 2GB from the laptop to the iMac usually ends in a dropped network connection, and don't complete.
However, ARD works perfectly from the iMac to the MBP - go figure!
Well, any advice?
thx!
coocoo
Ps. I am using a generic router that appears to be working fine, and I have tried DHCP auto and manual IP address settings with the same result.

Just put your permanent drive partitions into /etc/fstab (I believe the arch installer doe this for you). Removable drives, or USB stick drives, etc. are handled via HAL as Arisna said. Gnome and KDE should do this for you assuming you have HAL running.
