Cursor behavior is very strange as one would hold left arrrow all the time?

Hello,
Sometimes ( we can't trace the trigger) we're experiencing wird behavior of the Thunderbird
All of the sudden cursor in editor (text input areas) starts to run back, as one would hold left/back/ arrow.
First thought was it is a virus, but apparently there is none.
at that time In left folder menu: when selected folder tree starts to collapse to root (sub-folders can not be accessible)
in drop-down menu: when selected, it starts to move to another drop-down continuously
if we restart application, problem is still there, only if we restart the computer, we can use thunderbird again until next time problems appears.
system:
Win 7 home edition

Limit Time Machine backup/sparsebundle so one machine doesn't hog all the time capsule space?

Is this possible?
I have a brand new time capsule, my wife and I will be backing up our computers to it using Time Machine. Is it possible to limit the storage size of the sparsebundles so one of us (probably me) wont hog all the space?
My wife doesn't use her's as much, while my computer is on almost everyday, so I'm affraid my computer will limit the amount of states, or versions, that she can back up before her time machine has to start deleting old files.
I'm trying to avoid a situation where my time machine goes back a year while her's only goes back a few months.
Thanks!

No. That is not how a Time Capsule and Time Machine work. All backups are adding to existing backups.
About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive.
To accomplish what you want would mean using just an external backup drive partitioned with volumes for each of you to use, and the use of a different backup utility that overwrites old files rather than saving them as does Time Machine.

My 2nd generation iPod touch keeps shutting off and I would need to restart all the time. Can apple still do anything about it even though it's a very old iPod touch?

Hi,
I've had my iPod touch for a really long time and it recently starts to shut off or freezes all the time. There is always batteries in it and I am getting annoyed by restarting it all the time. Is there any way to fix this and will apple do anything about it because it is a old generation iPod touch. Thanks!

I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

Hello everybody,
I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Yan

Hello Chris,
Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
Thanks for answering so fast.
Bye.

So if i had lost my ipod, and i had bought the applecare for my ipod, do you think i would be able to get a new ipod since i have the applecare on it? or to get a new one would i have to give thee device in then get a new one?

so if i had lost my ipod, and i had bought the applecare for my ipod, do you think i would be able to get a new ipod since i have the applecare on it? or to get a new one would i have to give thee device in then get a new one?

Applecare has nothing to do with a lost or stolen device.
You would have to buy a new ipod.

I have a Galaxy S3 and love this phone but here at my new home which has absolutely no trees of bushes blocking anything, my phone calls are dropped ALL THE TIME and it's driving me crazy. Verizon finally said that they would come out and boost the signal but haven't seen anyone in two weeks. I have called Verizon tech help for one year to get help with this, either trade phone or something. I am so frustrated! I picked Verizon for the clear calls and coverage inside hospitals and buildings but it's been terrible. I have had three of these phones replaced. I need a different model like the S4 or the S5 I think cause it's something in this model.

Verizon is quickly becoming the worst cell phone company out there. To read all of these pleas from your loyal customers is just so sad and pitiful. You need to be sued for your data overage charges that you are intentionally imploding on your customers. They have pleaded, very intelligently, with you to do something to fix the issue and you willingly have NOT. As is with my reception issue that I was promised a signal booster for two months ago, so is this issue with the data. You don't follow up and solve the issues. Therefore the courts will find you fraudulent. When I was promised by your super tech that I needed a signal booster and he was sending it out overnight at no charge to me, I was relieved that it would finally be taken care of so I wouldn't lose faith with Verizon. Well, that was two months ago now with no record of it ever being ordered or on my file anywhere. I have since called three more times with hours of conversations about that issue and two more techs have told me they were sending me a signal booster with no follow up what so ever. WOW! That's pitiful! You may not care now, oh but you will later when you lose lots of money and business.

I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by using LabVIEW example, keyboard keycode

I would like to detect all the keyboard key is okay, but not every key can be detected by LabVIEW example ( we can use 『basic input demo.vi』to detect normal key』.
I want to detect some 『hot key』 for example some keys exist in the upper part like 『search key』、『e-mail key』、『volumn control key』...etc. They are very often to be watched in some new keyboards, but we still don't know how to detect if their functions are okay.
Can we detect signals of these 『hot key』 in LabVIEW? We can apply these hot key's functions in XP, so we should detect their signal, I think, but I can't do it.
I serach some information about this question, and somebody said we can detect hot key's signal by grabing 『keybode』 these hot key feedback. But I don't know how to do these. I can't use VC. So anyone can give me a LabVIEW VI to grab keycode? Or any other solution we can detect all the key on the keyboard, including hot keys?
Thanks!
Regards,

Maybe that is the limitation of Acquire Input Data.vi.The vi can't identify the Unformal key.
You can try to use Event structure and set to listen "key down" event.
There are two terminals VKey, ScanCode will sent out the information when you press key.
There are two pictures in attached file, 2.jpg will show you the detail.
Good luck.

My iPhone 4s has been very tempremental with making calls and sending SMS. It seems to work better if my 3G is on all the time. Anyone else experiencing this?

My iPhone 4s is very tempremental. One day it's fine, the next I find it hasn't recieved calls or texts that have been sent to me and it won't make calls or send texts either! I've found that if 3G is turned on it seems to help but do I really need to have 3G on all the time?

How are you turning off 3G? If you are putting it in Airplane mode this is why you haven't received any calls or texts, they both run on voice data which you turned off.

My computer is extremely slow, with the rainbow wheel appearing with every click. It is one year old, and has all the most recent updates. Why is it so painfully slow?

That sounds horrible. There are a number of reasons it could occur.
The first thing to do is ensure you have adequate backups, because what you describe can be a symptom of impending disk failure.
To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting. There are four separate parts to it; read everything first.
Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red. If Disk Utility reports "The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK" in green then you can be reasonably (though not completely) assured your hard disk is in good working order.
When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Read about it here. It contains a link to download EtreCheck. Don't download it from anywhere else (such as may be found by following the results of an Internet search).
Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
Copy and paste its output in a reply.
Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.
System performance problems for reasons that cannot be isolated to any other cause justify an SMC reset. Be sure to read the procedure carefully and follow all the steps exactly as written, even if they seem inapplicable or trivial.

My iMac is less than one year old. Without warning, the screen suddenly goes black. It used to happen occasionally, but is now happening all the time without warning. What is Apple doing to correct the problem?

My iMac is less than one year old. Without warning, the screen suddenly goes black. It used to happen ocasionally, but now it happens all the time. Numerous people have posted about this issue. Why hasn't Apple solved the issue. For what I paid my computer, I expected more from the product than I have gotten. I was a PC person for years and most of my associates told me that I needed to get a mac...I am starting to regret having taken their advice.

Sorry you're having this problem.
A few years ago we had a similar issue on one of our machines, it was an early MacBook. Ended up being a cracked circuit connection on the motherboard. Changes in temperature caused the crack to expand and contract resulting in a shut-down followed by an automatic reboot. Sometimes over-and-over. I understood from AppleCare at the time that those symptoms could have also been any number of things including a intermittent issue with a powersupply.
If you take it back to the Apple Store at some point, I would ask them to have it run some CPU intensive tasks that closely resemble what you are doing when the screen goes black. It took us several try's to find the problem. Calling AppleCare each time to discuss it and troubleshoot before making the trips to the Apple Store really moved things along. In fact, it wasn't until the Apple Store had cracked the case from the inside that things kicked into a higher gear and AppleCare phone support sent out a pre-paid FedX package to send it to a refurbishing facility. Never a problem since and I know the people who have the machine today.
PS Can identify with the trip to the Apple Store, our closest one is in Knoxville, 2hrs from us.

Very frustrated with my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time when texting. This started after the upgrade. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have reset the phones, deleted off pics and videos but nothing helps.

Very disappointed in my LG G2. My screen freezes all the time especially when texting. This started after the update. My husband's phone is doing the same thing. We have done a hard reset, deleted pics and videos to clean up the phone but nothing helps. Any suggestions? Our phones are new.

Lots of Frustration. In some cases the LGG2 is rendered useless even as a phone.
Here is what I did.
Got replacement Phone.
Same problems but I shut down all apps that I purchased even though they worked before KitKat.
Found that If I have both WiFi and LTE Data on at the same time battery chewing stops. Do Not know why.
Then I got 2 CM free utilities. The Clean and Wash utilities. Run them and find the culprits grinding CPU
cycles and running down the battery. Number One is the Verizon Voice Mail service constantly turning on and off
and retrieving data not there. Turn of the extra Voice mail and use the old access with the *6. Unless you have
100 messages a day for business your hosed until this KitKat issue is fixed. Get the CM battery utility.
YOU can see the battery suckers and shut them down when not using automatically.
Start putting back one application at a time you used often and see it they work and if the utilities will tune them
down if they cause problems. The LG will get better but with some limitations.
LG and Verizon have a problem with what was a great phone.turned bad overnight.

HT1338 Is there a Mac System Clean-up? My computer is running very slow and freeze all the times

I don't know why my computer is running very slow and keeps freezing all the times. It would take at least 2-3 min to load up after the not using it for 5 min. For instance when I type my paper or doing anything on the computer and leave for a fews min after come back it would not start and the icon keeps on spinning.
Thanks

Pretty much all "clean-up" utilities will just make things worse.
You need to determine what it is that is causing the problem.
How much RAM do you have?
For the following, report what you get when the system is running slow and beachballing.
Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) and click on System Memory tab at the bottom of the screen. What does it say for Page Outs?
Also, at the top of the window, select All Processes. Click on the %CPU header until the arrow points down. Anything pop up at the top of the list that is using a very high percentage of CPU?
What you describe can be caused by incompatible third-party software. Boot into Safe mode and see if the problems still exist. Safe mode will be a little slower than normal, but you shouldn't see the system freeze up.
