Dvdsp attention grabbing annoyance

why is it that dvdsp needs to get in the way of me doing other things at the computer while it is building and formatting a disc?
why does it need to jump to the foreground every time it goes from muxing tracks to erasing the dvd-rw that i put in the drive??? why thought that i might be interested in knowing this?
why do half the windows need to pop to the foreground when the dvd is done burning __and the icon in the dock is bouncing like mad __and the disc pops out ???? only the disc popping out of the machine would be enough of a hint that either something is wrong or it is simply done ....
am i the only one who's annoyed by this or are people just taking this insanity for granted?
sorry for the rant, but this - and a lot of other user interface madness in apple's "pro" applications make me question the direction of apple's HUI concepts...

ATTENTION ALL 27" iMAC OWNERS: PLEASE READ THIS THREAD

Hello. Firstly, apologies for the attention-grabbing title, but ultimately I need as many people to test this out as I possibly can.
Here's a basic run down of my problem: if I leave a window open on my display for about 10 mins, and then minimise it, and bring up a dark grey background such as iPhoto, Spotify, or a set desktop flat colour of dark grey, I can still see the text and display pictures semi-burnt into my screen, temporarily. They do fade after a while, but it is still annoying that it does this (I am a graphic designer, so I could potentially be working with dark images, and I don't fancy seeing my facebook messages over the top of my work).
I had this issue with the iMac which I purchased last Thursday, and I returned it to Stormfront (my local Apple Authorised Reseller) and they acknowledged the issue and gave me a completely new iMac. However, yet again, this computer has the exact same issue, which makes me think it may be an issue with quite a few of the 27" iMac's.
Therefore, I would like to ask if you, as the owner of a 27" iMac have a few spare minutes so that you can help me find out if this is a rare issue and I've just been unlucky, or if it's a wider issue with several iMac's.
Please follow the step by step guide I have created below: the burn-in effect image is not a screenshot, however I have recreated the effect on Photoshop so you know what to look for. Thank you in advance for reading this, and helping me out; please let me know what results you get from this test.
I am especially interested in users of the current Thunderbolt 27" iMac, with the high-end spec (3.1 GHz Intel Quad Core i5/4GB RAM/1TB HDD/Radeon HD 6970M HD). Please, if you own a different model also carry out these tests - your screen may have the same issue.
Step 1: Change your desktop background to a dark grey colour. Go to System Preferences > Desktop and Screensaver > Desktop > Apple/Solid Colours > Cutom Colour... > Using the greyscale slider under the second colour picker tab, enter a value of around 15%. Set this as your desktop.
Step 2: Open a white-backgrounded application. Position it somewhere on your screen (preferably the left as this is where I experience it at it's worst), and leave the application there for around 10 minutes.
Step 3: Once 10 minutes is up, minimise the window, and study the area where the window was. If you have this issue, you will still be able to make out the elements from the open window (in my case, my Twitter followees display pictures and tweets). Here is a mocked up version of how it appears, created in Photoshop. As the issue is hardware related (I think), it doesn't appear in screenshots. You can view this image at full size here: http://cl.ly/AZYD.
Step 4: Please let me know the result, and the specs of your computer. I am contemplating phoning Apple to make them aware of this issue, but wanted to see if it's just me before deciding it's a hardware issue.
For me, I think I'll wait until the next Lion update is released, in case it offers a graphics driver update. Otherwise, I guess this one will be going back too.
Thanks guys, and I await your responses.

What you are seeing is called Display Persistence. All LCD displays have a certain amount. Some less some more. This includes models from the same build. I have linked Apples response to what your seeing. I did the setup you said and saw no persistence on mine. If I had let it set longer I am sure it would have shown up.

No More Shopping Cart in iTunes V9

After upgrading to iTunes V9 I noticed there is no more shopping cart. I queried iTunes support via chat and they confirmed:
"In the iTunes 9 there is no longer a shopping cart"
Yipes! I liked being able to stage items and then get recommendations and then add & subtract. I then did my purchasing en masse later, not item by item. It was more convenient, I could consider my purchases and find related items. I could also time a large purchase against available funds, etc.
Apple responds straight out of Zig Zigler:
"I understand. Am sorry for the inconvenience it may cause"
I realize there is a wishlist feature, but that doesn't propose items or function as nicely as the cart once did.
For me this is one step forward and two steps back. Nuts !!!

Not only was I ****** to find out that my shopping cart was gone, but I'm LIVID that when I tried to reinstall 8.21, IT CANNOT READ my iTunes because it was created by a different version.
WAY TO GO Apple!
If you're going to remove a MAJOR feature, you should either make it an attention grabbing notification BEFORE you upgrade, or you should make it easy to return to a previous version. Especially one that is sneaky enough that you actually end up buying things that you intended for your shopping cart. Due to the attachment I have for my music, that borders on misrepresentation, if you ask me.
I'm becoming increasingly unhappy with Apple's 'improvements'. This latest rollback issue just pushed it over the edge. Everything has become geared toward the iPhone (which, even if I could afford it and the plan that goes with it, is not supported by the carriers in my area) and the Nano (how can I fit 100+ GB of music on a Nano?). I am perfectly happy with my iPod 'classic' and have no reason to update, especially given the current economy. It annoys the **** out of me that iPhone software appears in my Apple update, even though I don't own one. If you want me to buy one (and I would love to do so), you could start by allowing ALL mobile carriers to carry it. But I digress...
Further, it seems that somehow my number of times a song has been played has broken, as has Recently Played Songs. When I plugged in after upgrading to 9.0, the songs I'd been listening to in the car all week did not have any numbers next to them (and yes, I was looking at the iPod list and not the iTunes list). When I checked the actual iPod itself (not plugged in) for recently played songs, NONE of the songs I'd played in the last week are there. They don't show up in the iTunes GUI, either. I don't know when this happened, but it's another annoyance. I really, really, really, really, really hate it when companies create features, let you get used to them and using them, and then take them away for something that's supposedly better. Rarely is it better.
Unfortunately for me, I've become so dependent upon my iPod (and tight in the cash department, and do not have access to a network for the iPhone), that changing to another MP3 player is really not an option. So, the question then is, does anyone know how to revert your database back without going to a previous restore point in Windows?

Error running source setup.sh

This is my first time to get in touch with flex at all. So I am a blind rookie, hungry fro some action. I had two problems sourcing the setup.sh
1. The source.sh was unable to find the flash player gz.
# 2. I dont have the default ant and jdk on my ubuntu. and it always points to the defaults where as I even set them in the environment for this session. The error trace is at the bottom of the post.
Solution to first problem: I gave a path for the player. Does this mean the path is incorrect in the current version
Solution to second problem: I am checking if the HOME paths are missing only then use the defaults otherwise dont.

setup.sh is intend to help you out, rather than always work.
Just set the required environment variables yourself and skip this step if
your setup is non-default.

I *believe* the player is no longer in SVN because people were pulling from
there pre-public release and the Adobe folks needed to reduce load.
Unfortunately they are all busy at the mo @ MAX, but if you copy a recent
player into the correct place it should be fine.

How do I get rid of the Orange Fox in the middle of the page every time I pull up Firefox. Very annoying.

I pull up Firefox and am blasted out of my socks by a huge orange fox. I hate that. I just want a page to pull up that has a search engine in the middle of the page so I can begin surfing. The fox is attention grabbing and annoying.

Mozilla shows snippets on the about:home page to run different campaigns and that changes regularly.
If you prefer not to see snippets on the about:home page or if there are problems with a snippet then you can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref to an empty string on the about:config page.
Delete the storage\persistent\moz-safe-about+home folder in the Firefox profile folder with Firefox closed ("3-bar" Firefox menu button > Exit/Quit) to remove snippets stored in IndexedDB and make Firefox use a default snippet set.
You can reset the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref via the right-click context menu to the default value to re-enable the snippets and make Firefox recreate the moz-safe-about+home folder.
Close and restart Firefox after changing the value of the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref.
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar.
You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Need help with Java applet, might need NetBeans URL

I posted the below question. It was never answered, only I was told to post to the NetBeans help forum. Yet I don't see any such forum on this site. Can someone tell me where the NetBeans help forum is located (URL).
Here is my original question:
I have some Java source code from a book that I want to compile. The name of the file is HashTest.java. In order to compile and run this Java program I created a project in the NetBeans IDE named javaapplication16, and I created a class named HashTest. Once the project was created, I cut and pasted the below source code into my java file that was default created for HashTest.java.
Now I can compile and build the project with no errors, but when I try and run it, I get a dialog box that says the following below (Ignore the [...])
[..................Dialog Box......................................]
Hash Test class wasn't found in JavaApplication16 project
Select the main class:
<No main classes found>

Does anyone know what the problem is here? Why won't the project run?

Spotify UI needs to be more condensed, not more like iTunes

I would like the search results to show up as in the old UI-design. The new UI-design is horrible, beside the point that Spotify is starting to look more and more like iTunes for no good reason. It all comes down to wasted screen real estate. First of all the new search is wasting space on the sides while simultaneously truncating Artist name and album name. The new search also wastes roughly half of my screen before the search results come. This leads to unnecessary scrolling and I am using an 1920x1200 display!, this must be even more irritating on smaller resolution displays.I have outlined my thoughts in picture1 and picture2 So I guess my idea is that Spotify needs to think in terms of screen real estate. The primary goal needs to be to present as much information as possible in one screen. The old UI did a perfect job for this. There where clear lists and still album art to see what was going on. It also had its own distinct look and feel it felt genuine in some seance. Copying the look and feel of iTunes feels second class somehow, like Spotify desperately tries to be something else. But there is so much other aspects the needs to be fixed with Spotify then the look and feel of its UI.

I have to chime in on this one too. I'm a long time Spotify user and a graphic designer. The design was great before the recent update. There is so much wasted space now. One tthing I miss is the little blurb at the top of the page in Artist view that gave several lines of the intro to the artist Biography. Now I have to click on the full Biography link to read anything. While this might not seem like a big deal, having that blurb was really convenient and attention grabbing. Now I have less of a desire to click the Biography link. Another grievance is the Top Tracks section of the Artist page. While it's great that they increased it from 5 to 10, the new mini album icons take up so much room! Plus I loved being able to star a track right from the Top Tracks list withouth having to hunt for it in the Albums list. Sure, the little icons help find the album quickly, but it's still annoying to scroll and hunt. And what's with the side by side crap? Now I can't click on the top track and shift+click down through the next album to select all the songs, it skips the 9 other tracks. That should be fixed. And of course, color! This might sound like nitpicking, but it really makes a big deal. So many people spend hours on end on their computer each day. For those who have to stare at a screen for a long time, a bright interface is a bad idea. Sure, it looks pretty, but that's not what it should be about. I want to hear music, and I want a power, intuitive tool to get the job done. If the color and design are going to bug people, guess what? People aren't going to interact with your product as much. They're going to do what I do now, set a long playlist, minimize the window, and forget about all the extra goodies you've worked so hard to pack into your software. Spotify's color and layout was spot on before. If you want to mess with the color, cool. But could we have some options to change it from the preferences pane without having to download and install add ons or skins? (wow that was long, sorry. there's my two cents)

MacBook Disk Death

Hi there
My white Macbook, 3 months old, suddenly died last night. after the grey screen for a bit it gives me a terminal type screen BUT you cannot type anything. I ran disk utility from the install disk and it told me it wasn't happy and so i repaired it. disk verified fine.
It still wont start up, hanging on the grey apple screen.
I went to target disk mode to try and grab some data off it. It mounts but everything is painfully slow. Copying a 3mb folder took about 20 mins.
This sounds like a dying HD to me.
Your opinions greatly appreciated...
Ben
p.s. did you like the attention grabbing title?

You may consider replacing the HD urself. don't even bother trying to have apple fix that for you, cuz it's not gonna be worth it. I sent my macbook in 3 weeks ago to get the dead HD replaced. Right now the geniuses at Apple's repair facility are still "working on it"! told me 3 days ago it was supposed to be out that day. But 3 days later my macbook is still being held hostage. called again and was told that they are testing the memory...?$#@ What does that have to do with the hard drive??? I mean, com'on! We all know that the macbooks have the HD that are easiest to swap in the history of all the apple notebook computers. On this forum i also saw another fellow who lost 25 days for this.
Maybe this depends on individual experiences. The HD is only worth 60-80 bucks. Just bear in mind that you may lose a few weeks of using ur computer.

CS5: CS Live

There has to be a way to disable the "CS Live" toolbar menu in Illustrator. Doesn't there?
There is an option in Photoshop: it's in the Preferences menu, under "Plugins". No such option in Illy.
I might have had a use for this feature—I'm not dead set against it. But as it happens I don't have a use for it, and I don't want it cluttering up my workspace, in its attention-grabbing way. It's noise that doesn't help either the eye or the brain.
Please Adobe add an option (or even a registry patch) that allows this feature to be turned off.
Anyway, shouldn't CS Live have been an optional component in the CS5 install? Maybe I can doctor the xmls. (But we shouldn't have to, should we.)

Let me help you with your faulty memory:

Last, what you call CS4 update is nothing but a little filter that aloud you to use CS3 (old version) crop marks. BUT the problem is:
After switching to the Illustrator CS3 Crop Marks filter (following the steps noted above), the Illustrator CS4 Crop Marks effect will not be available. Opening any Illustrator CS4 files that contain objects with the Crop Marks effect created using the Illustrator CS4 Crop Marks effect will require expanding the object to proceed with further editing.

FAQ suggestions wanted

Hi, folks.
I'm looking for some ideas here. I'd like to organize the FAQs better in the hope of making them a bit more user-friendly.
Do we need to create "sections" for different types of FAQs? Should we prioritize some FAQs, and push others to the bottom of the list? Are there often-asked questions missing from the list? Are there FAQs which you feel are no longer relevant, or are confusing or incorrect?
Thanks for your input!
Neil

Ya know (and I'm not sure how J.C. and others would react, but)...
I'm not sure whether it would work toward more effectively steering visitors where they need to go, but the text info in the gray box at the top of the thread index could be replaced by an attention-grabbing image, with image maps for the links.
Since the text formatting hasn't seemed to really work to get newcomers directed toward the FAQ's maybe something that's visually attractive might.
Some people's eyes gloss over when all they see is text, but perhaps a little decent (not-garish) design would help.
It might be worth a try. If there are too many objections, it could always be put back to text-only, easily enough.
And how to accommodate NNTP visitors, you ask? ALT text? I dunno...I'm not much of a sitebuilding geek, so suggestions would have to be offered for that.
(Don't smite me too hard, please. I'm just trying to help the brainstorming process here :) )

Need help with java applet

Hi all,
Am having trouble with a java applet that won't run under Mozilla, Seamonkey, and IE 6 but will run under IE 7 Beta 2. Am posting the error info below in the hope that someone can see what could be wrong as i don't want to upgrade user's to IE 7 since it's a beta and also since most of them use mozilla. thanks in advance:

That wasn't attention-grabbing enough apparantly. Let's try it again.

IPhone 5, iOS 7: Alert/Ringtone volumes low...

I updated my black 32gb iPhone 5 to iOS 7 last week and one of the very things I noticed was how many missed calls/texts I had. I couldn't understand why until I went to change my tones to something more attention grabbing.... I noticed that the volume of the alerts and ringtones, including the classics, are too low to be useful. At first I thought it was my imagination until I went to work and my coworkers IDENTICAL phone started ringing, and boy did it sound great. Clear, crisp, loud. I compared her phone running iOS 7 to mine and there was a huge difference in the ringtones & alerts.
So, now that I know it's not just my imagination - I have spent all day looking for other people having this same issue. I have found a few, but nobody has a solution. This is occurring on not only the iPhone 5 but also the iPhone 4 & 4s - but not to everyone. That would lead me to believe that there may be a hardware issue with my phone but here's the rub: It sounded loud, crisp & clear when I was using iOS 6.1.4. So a software issue? If so why wouldn't it be affecting everyone and not just a few of us? This is beyond baffling and frustrating...
Before I take this phone to Apple (thank goodness it is under warranty) I was wondering if anyone here has experienced this issue and FIXED IT. What I've tried so far is turning the volume down and up, turning up all volumes not just the ringer and restoring the phone to factory settings through iTunes. None of it worked (thus this post), therefore as I said if anyone has a solution to this prior to me making the several hour journey to the Apple store I would love to know what it is. Thank you in advance.

I have experienced the same issue of low ringer volume and the penny dropped when music settings came up. I hooked up bluetooth last night to a sound system and changed EQ from bass booster to late night to increase volume on music played from my iPod, which worked, incidentally. I turned off bluetooth and changed EQ from late night to flat and issues were resolved. Turned bluetooth back on played music checked ringtones and volume and not working again. So. Sounds aren't cooperating when bluetooth is enabled for sound I'm guessing. It's the only bluetooth device I'm using now. The same problem exists with TEXT SPEAK which is what I was attempting to get iPhone to do when this ordeal started! I'm exhausted with the minutia of iPhone 5, iOS7 and all things Apple!

Java Saved My Life

I went to the doctor today, and he told me I had only weeks to live. I asked if there was anything I could do about this and he thought the only thing that could save me was to learn Java. I didn't believe him at first, but after a few weeks of using objects and the interfaces, and I have regained my health and the doctor no longer thinks my life is in serious danger. I think the only reason for this is my good knowledge of Java. I think I owe so much to Sun Microsystems and its truly masterpiece-like language, that has given me the way out from certain death.
Actually I want to know the best way to output HTML from a Java program.

Innovative attention grabbing intro :)
The simplest way is to write JavaScript directly to the HTML, so you can output HTML source like:
<script language="Javascript">
document.write("Output");
</script>
Ofcourse you can count, sum, concatenate and so on in document write without a problem.
The second solution, that I'm also interested in, is a java applet, that would upon call output some HTML code. I've been begging for a simple example for a while, but I didn't get any replys that would indicate that something like this is possible. Drop me a note if you find a solution.

setup.sh is intend to help you out, rather than always work.
Just set the required environment variables yourself and skip this step if
your setup is non-default.

I *believe* the player is no longer in SVN because people were pulling from
there pre-public release and the Adobe folks needed to reduce load.
Unfortunately they are all busy at the mo @ MAX, but if you copy a recent
player into the correct place it should be fine.
