Display picture in messages totally pixelated when seeing it with yahoo messenger for windows

Hello,
I'm using messages to chat with my yahoo messenger account at work and yahoo messenger for windows at home.
When I log into Yahoo with messages, my yahoo display picture is updated automatically with the one I have choose in messages.
My problem is that this picture is totally pixelated when you see it on yahoo messenger for windows. It seems that Messages is changing its size.
As the size in Yahoo messenger for windows is bigger it appears pixelated!
If I choose no display picture in messages, the one I have choose with yahoo messenger for windows disappear when I'm logging with it.
Is there a way that messages do not update the display picture each time I'm logging to Yahoo?
I suppose that there is no solution to this problem but I wanted to be sure.
Anyway thanks for your help.

HI,
Thanks for the Path.
This does seem to show all the Recents from the Contacts App > My Card, the Login Pic and the Messages Buddy List pic.
I think in Mountain Lion these were either separate items or the .plist that is in the current place listed the app/location the pic was used.
I have looked at the pictures in the folder (.png and thumbnail .tiffs) and the .plist and it does seem to be all the pics I have used in all three places over the last few months.
The Yahoo account is logged in not through IMAgent that FaceTime and Messages use for other Accounts but from the IMServicePluginAgent.
In Mountain Lion this used to list a Buddy Pic server as well as a straightforward login.
Using Little Snitch I am not seeing that in Mavericks.
Seems you may have to change your Pic on a web page for your Yahoo account.

I get an error message "unknown publisher" when I download quicktime 7.7 for windows 64bit

I am trying to download quicktime and I get an error message :unknown publisher". I am using windows 7 64-bit operating system. Can anyone help me?

Which I get. But clicking on that link you provided does not give you the option of choosing between 32 and 64 bit installers.
Yeah, that was certainly a 32-bit installer file being referred to in the other message, too. (The 64-bit installer file is called iTunes64Setup.exe.)
Just in case it's an issue with your normal browser not working properly with the system-detection equipment on the page (there's a javascript control that checks for operating system specifics, and is supposed to deliver the correct Mac or Windows installers), let's try a different web browser for the download. If you use Firefox instead of IE (or vice versa), do you get offered an iTunes64Setup.exe instead of an iTunesSetup.exe?

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Am seeing all of the same error messages. MSVCR80.dll is missing from computer. For windows "Error 7 (Windows error 126) appears. Must be a defect in the lastest software update. How do you get Apple to respond

I too cannot download latest itunes version. Apple needs to respond and fix what is certainly a software defect. Am seeing all of the same error messages including MSCVR80.dll is missing from computer. For Windows 7 a "Error 7 (Windows errror 126) appears. How do you get Apples's attention. It is impossible to link up with real support from their website?

Remove old Apple programs, and use Explorer web-browser. (Firefox or Chrome will not do)

Adobe is working on a versin that will not require any download at all to watch flash content.

@ Microsoft WPC "Soon you will see premium new Lumias designed for Windows 10″

This was something interesting that came out of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference today, straight from the lips of Terry Myerson, the Executive VP of the Windows and Devices Group.
He also was quoted as saying "Last week we announced a focusing on our Lumia lineup..." Again, further proof that Microsoft is not abandoning Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile.

Display an alert message through javascript when report column item is null

Hello,
I have a report column item which is an select list item and now i want to display an alert message when value is null, I mean no value is selected, this alert message should be fired when update button is clicked.
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

You could try something like this:
declare
x        INTEGER;
err_ct INTEGER   := 0;
begin
x := 5; -- number of rows displayed
for i in 1 ... x (
    IF wwv_flow.g_f08(i)) IS NULL THEN err_ct := err_ct + 1;
    END IF;
end loop;
IF err_ct = 0 THEN
     RETURN NULL;
ELSE
    RETURN 'Nice error message: you must supply a value.';
END IF;This would be used with a PL/SQL validation: Function Returning Error Text.

I assume you have tried everything here?
iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
It doesn't mention 1442, but the same troubleshooting applies.
It wouldn't hurt to also try another available USB port on your machine and another sync cable if possible.
Lastly, try restoring the iPod on another PC or Mac running iTunes.
If you know of somebody with a PC running Windows XP still, ask them if you can download the reset utility and use it to reset the Shuffle.

I get a message saying that my ipod needs to be formatted for windows

I originally used my ipod on my pc, but now I want to use it on my laptop. I connected it to my laptop, and I got a message saying something like “your ipod needs to be formatted for windows, would you like itunes to reformat your ipod?” I don’t understand why it’s saying that I need to format it for windows when I have always been using it on windows. I use mediamonkey to transfer my files, and when I click on the ipod in mediamonkey, no songs show up. How can I get mediamonkey to recognize the songs on the ipod without reformatting my ipod (I don’t want to erase all the songs)?
Thanks.

Hmm..Here's a few options:
~Hopefully you can see your Ipod under My Computer.
1. Enable the viewing of hidden files, then browse to (let's call it I:/ drive.)
I:/YourIpod_Name/iPodControl/Music
Copy the whole music folder to your desktop or somewhere safe. That folder contains all your songs, though they will have names such as HGB3.mp3.
(Enable Hidden Files<Under Advanced View>: Control Panel>Appearance and Themes>Folder Options>View Tab>Show Hidden Files and Folders)
~If it doesn't appear under My Computer or if it does.
2. Use a third-party software program to get the songs from your Ipod to a folder on your computer. This will get the songs from your Ipod with the correct artists and names. Not sure if posting links to third-party software is 'legal', but here it goes:
http://download.cnet.com/iDump/3000-2169_4-10407429.html
I use this one to keep a backup of my songs from time to time. It's best to keep the backup on an external drive just in-case you HD dies.
If your still not able to get a backup of your songs, well that's all I have right now. Maybe you can wait for other replies, or just go ahead and format it(but you lose your songs).
Now to restore:
Let's see why it isn't appearing under iTunes.
Open up iTunes with your ipod connected, ignore anything that may pop up. Click the tab called 'Help' and then 'Run Diagnostics...'. Check only the two last boxes:
-Iphone/Ipod connectivity tests
-Iphone/Ipod touch sync tests
Hit next, again make sure your ipod is connected...next one more time.
You should pass all tests for connectivity.
Now sync, which you should fail.
Apple wrote:
This feature tests iPod and iPhone connectivity on a Windows PC running iTunes. Except for syncing, the diagnostic tests in iTunes do not test the hardware or software on the iPod/iPhone.
If any problems occur under the connectivity tests, post here.
If your up to losing your songs, your ipod is treated like a volume so right-click > format, should format it, deleting everything. When connected to iTunes, it should present the option to restore.
^I can say this, because I've done it, but I don't know if the outcome will be the same for you.

Yahoo messenger for Mac stopped displaying Real names, showing only ID's

Hello all,
I'm using Yahoo messenger version 3.0.2. All of my listed contacts are shown their id's and can not see their real name or nick name. It's so frustrating to misfinding my friends from my list. Please help me out from it.
According to yahoo messenger guide preference>appearance > tick nick name/first and last name. Unfortunately there is no Appearance option in left side.
Thank you,
Byambagerel

HI,
I only see IDs as I have not allowed the app Access to my Contacts app.
I don't know enough about Yahoo App to say if the server can "push" real names or display names at you the way AIM does.

Strange error when Bootcamp attempts to create partition for Windows

I get a strange error when I tell Bootcamp to create a partition for Windows. I get to the Create a Partition stage. I select 20GB for Windows leaving 91GB (39GB free) for OS X. I then click Partition and it gives me the following error
*The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.*
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
My disk is formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled), I have closed all applications (besides Bootcamp Assistant) and I have even restarted and tried again to see if that might help. Nothing. I can't get it to partition. Any thoughts? Can I partition my disk manually through disk utility and then select it in Bootcamp?

When will Bootcamp drivers be available for Windows 8?

I am unable to load Win8 using Bootcamp. The forums say drivers are currently not available for Bootcamp from Apple? Does anyone know when the drivers will be available?

Instead, you can install Windows 7 on Boot Camp. Also, see if it's better for you Boot Camp or a virtual machine > https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3321
