Dark blue bar in capacity bar?

Hi there,
Here's an interesting question. In the capacity bar for my ipod, the blue section obviously represents music, but there is a small section in the bar that is a darker blue than the rest. It started appearing after I accidentally tried to put songs from a CD directly onto the ipod (i.e. without ripping it to the disk first). Is that what that darker blue section actually means, and if so what can I do to get rid of it and free up some space on my ipod? Thanks!

I think what happens is they show up as a mix, to represent music and video. I got rid of the music videos on my nano, and that portion of the bar dissapeared.

Dark blue bar on folder icons in Finder?

This is probably just a trivia question, but what's the significance of the dark blue bars on some folder icons in Finder? I just copied some folders into my MySQL database and noticed that almost evey folder I copied has a dark blue bar across it.

Sorry for the late response.
I just checked a folder that was full of such icons, but they all look normal now. But then I checked another folder and found an icon with something I forgot to mention - a little X on top. Here's a screen shot...
http://www.geobop.com/weird-icon.png
There are also icons that are faded. The appear to represent folders that weren't finished copying.

After several minutes, the solid blue bar at the very top goes light blue and 'freezes' until I click on the bar. Then it's restored. This is constant. How do I fix it?

The dark blue bar will eventually go to a light blue, the mouse arrow disappears, and all is 'frozen' until I manually click on the blue bar. Then, it's back to normal and the bar turns dark blue. Many minutes elapse then it repeats over and over. What setting is there to fix this?

Does this still happen if you start Firefox with '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes|extensions disabled]]'''?
[http://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/gq288/double_window_does_anyone_else_have_that_problem/ This page] has a report from another user with the same problem, who says the problem went away after disabling extensions.

Dark blue background and weird icon placement on jump list (recent files) of apps in task bar

Hi, I recently made a factory reset of W8.1, and now I'm seeing a weird and very annoying dark blue backgound in the list of recent files that appears when you right click an app pinned to the taskbar. Also, the "pin to taskbar" and "close window" icons show sort of out of place and apparently larger than normal I've tried looking through every possible setting but I can't find anything related to this list in particular. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced.

Hello @Adrianrff, I understand that a dark blue background and strange icon placement on the jump list of apps in the task bar of your computer, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! Since this issue occurred after performing a factory reset, I suggest performing a full system recovery by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return the jump list and icon sizes back to factory settings.
If the issue continues, please contact our technical support for further assistance in this matter by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

I hope this helps!
Regards Thanks for the suggestion, MechPilot. I did a full system recovery but unfortunately it did not work. Apparently the color of the background matches the color chosen in Windows first startup, but I don't remember having chosen white the first time, everything looked fine then. Any other suggestion?

Safari is not working on the Mac. Internet is fine, mail, App Store etc all working and connecting to Internet fine. Done the latest software update, still not working. When selecting a web address from bookmarks or typing in search bar, partial blue bar.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
If extensions aren't causing the problem, see below.
Safari 5.0.1 or later: Slow or partial webpage loading, or webpage cannot be found

When i open a new tab i get a tab with 2 blue bars, instead of one - the one on top of the site - and a little firefox dropdown - and when i start the next session firefox crashes???

When clicking a link - a new tab opens. But the new tab which opens looks wired: There are 2 blue bars - the one you get on each session(where the red x is which closes everything) - I don`t know how you call this. This 2nd blue bar is located directly under the "normal" one and has got - on the left hand side- a firefox dropdown menue(when you click it you get: New Tab, Start private browsing, edit, save page as and so on.
I can close the session as always but when i start the next session a view hours or a day later then firefox opens all the tabs from the session before as individual windows - and then it crashes. This happens 2 or 3 times - then i see a window where i am asked to either restore the old session(which doesn`t work - it always crashes again) or start a new session - which works.
This is very annoying. Please tell me what to do.
Thank you

It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
Delete the files sessionstore.js [2] and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).

When clicking a link normally - a new tab would open, but in this version a new window opens and there are 2 blue bars - the bar at the top of the browser and on the left hand side is a orange firefox button - Next time i start firefox it crashes!!!

This window looks weird: there are 2 blue bars(the upper blue bar - normally there is 1, with the current page name and - Mozilla Firefox written in white inside of the bar) plus in the 2nd bar there is an orange firefox button, on the left hand side.
I have already asked this question and was adviced to start in safe mode - this did not help either.
Please help me quickliy, it is really annoying.
Thanks
Richard

Hi! Hold the mouse button down at startup to eject the disc from the dvd drive. Then startup from the install disc and repair the drive as per THIS doc. Tom

My location bar, tool bar (file, edit, tools, bookmarks, help) disappeared and cannot be restored. I have no back button, home button etc. the top of the screen is just an empty blue bar. Internet still works if I click on a hyperlink on the main page.

The problem started when I turned on the computer this morning. I tried to install Mozilla 4 from your website and that installed but I still have nothing on the top.

It may be due to Firebug. Seeing as how you're a web developer, it's very possible you have this installed. The latest version, 1.7X a10, appears to cause everything you described. I downgraded to "a8" and that seems to have fixed everything.
I also recreated a profile from scratch before trying this out, so I can't guarantee it's definitely Firebug.

Powerbook G4 freezing at blue bar startup

Hi there
I have a Powerbook G4 Titanium (1Ghz processor) 1Gb RAM. For nearly 5 years it has given me no problems. I have Tiger 10.4.8 installed.
A week ago it suddenly started to get very slow and required restarting 3 or 4 times before the problem seemed to go away. Then a few days later the problem returned, this time much worse, so I ran Cache Out X, which seemed to help for a while. Then today it ground to a halt and when trying to restart it just froze.
In the last 10 hours I have tried the following:
Booted up from the Tiger install CD and successfully ran the Repair Disk Permissions in Disk Utility.
Booted up from the Apple Hardware Test CD and successfully ran the Extended Test, which passed everything okay.
However, I cannot Safe Boot (Startup with Shift) or reset the Pram (Restart with Command-Option-P-R), as in both cases it only ever gets as far as the grey Apple logo.
I also cannot re-install Tiger, as the 60Gb Hard Drive is 58Gb full and Tiger needs more space to install...but of course I can't free up space because I can't startup properly to access the files on the Hard Drive.
After trying all the above, if I start up normally now then the grey Apple logo and the grey startup animation stay on the screen for maybe 10 minutes, then the startup window appears and the blue bar takes around 2 minutes to reach the right hand side of the window, but then nothing. The blue bar stays full permanently, but OSX never gets to the desktop.
As a last ditch attempt I've opened up the Powerbok to try and locate the Pram and take out the battery, but I've been unable to do this.
It's worth noting that when booted up from the Tiger install CD I also tried to Repair Disk (rather than Repair Disk Permissions) and got an error message saying "Invalid sibling link. Volume check failed. First Aid failed. The underlying task reported failure on exit". I'm not sure what this means.
Does anyone have any thoughts on what to try next?
Many thanks all you Mac gods out there!

Lucia:
I am glad you were able to remove some of the information from the HDD. I suspect that you have some kind of hardware issue, maybe even the HDD, but we can't be sure until we do a bit more to be sure it is not software related. Next, then, try this:
Repair Disk
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel, and report if it says anything but Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need to use a utility like Tech Tool Pro or Disk Warrior
Let me know how it goes.
Good luck.

Message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer" in blue bar. Why

First time user. Instructions on how to use not clear. My problem is the message "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open Internet Explorer?" suddenly appeared in blue bar. Occurs with I click on links in PDF. What caused this? How to fix? How to avoid it from happening again?
Same conflict with email links, just different message: "Do you mean to switch apps? Reader is trying to open mail?"
Goal: Do not want to switch apps and do not want to be asked this question.
Environment: Windows 8, file developed in Publisher 365, Reader 10 "I think"

Thank you for responding. I have recreated the error, but cannot figure out how to use Snipping Tool to get screenshot of a Windows 8 panel. Have the tool placed in the tool bar, but tool bar not accessible on the PDF display. Any suggestions?

I'm having problems with the install of iTunes 10.7 it seems to be going well and then at the very end of the blue bar it doesnt seem to complete? All of my software is up to date and plenty of space on the mini?

I'm having problems installing iTunes 10.7. It seems to be going well and then at the last part of the blue bar it just doesn't complete. All software is up to date and there is plen of room on the mini? I have tried like 4 times and am ready to throw it out the window.

I noticed some problems with the Apple Support sites here the last day or so.
Try again using > Apple - iTunes - Download iTunes Now

Blue bar won't fully load..........

Everytime I open Safari, the blue bar fills up until just short of the end and then stops. The Apple home page is clearly visable but I cannot go any further, if I click on any links or type in another web address the blue bar goes back to the start and goes no further.
I know there is no problem with my internet connection because Internet Explorer (Boo!) and Firefox both work fine, as do downloads from the itunes store so it must be a problem with Safari.
Is there a way I can reinstall Safari or does anyone know a fix for this problem?
I have other problems wih my ibook at the moment which this could be related to but thought it was worth an ask. (Cant repair disk using disk utility but have repaired permissions)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Matty:
The "other problems" need to be fixed. If you cannot repair disk using disk utility from your software install DVD, you most surely have directory problems.
You have a couple of options. DiskWarrior, while pricey, is the "gold standard" of directory repair. Alternatively, you could do an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
which will install a fresh copy of OS x (including Safari). You would need to update to the current levels.

Link between accounts ans other related blue bars

hi,
I have to export account data and their related blue bar data like contacts,opportunities and others.
But the problem is that I can export the accounts data and other data lists separately.
But how can I link the seapate data to each other?After export they will become separate data.
Is their any common linkage between them? I checked CRM Id and E1numbers but they are all different.
Please help.
Thanks
Arpita.

Hi Goud,
Thanks for your reply. It was very helpful.
But one problem I am facing is that while selecting Contact external uique id in Accounts page layout it is not displaying in the page. Whereas Accounts unique id are available in Contact and Oppurtunity and seen in any contact or opportunity page. It will be very helpful if this Contact unique id is visible in page as while doing export it will be very helpful.
Please let me know if there is any solution for this.
Thanks
Arpita.

Hi Russ,
Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec. I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app. Any ideas?
Thanks
Gerry
