Files are updated even when not touched in months

date modified is updated for all folders--
The files in some folders (documents) are updated as if they had all been truly worked over in some substantial way, even when they have not been touched in months. This happened to my laptop and now has spread to my desktop at work. Help. At times, it has taken processing power away from the machine to do the updating.
eMac Mac OS X (10.3.9) laptop was ibook running jaguar

mine has started to do the same thing. I have reset the nano 3 times. When I turn it off the "charged battery" icon stays on though the light is off. I plugged it in to the computer and had to reset for the computer to find. After leaving it plugged in for a few hours I unplugged and tried again. Still says "charged" all the time.
I could try a hard reset...., but has any one else experienced this?

I updated imovie and I Used to be able to save as Quicktime file, now not an option & files are so large when I save as mpeg4 and just rename them. Please help!

Actually it is easier than I thought. It is H264 but the wrapper is m4v. You can just change that in the finder to .mov and drop it into iDVD. iMovie will send it to iTunes so just right click on it in iTunes and select reveal in finder and then copy/paste to desktop and change to .mov. Then drag into iDVD. Really easy.

I'm new to iPad. I've installed some apps. The apps are "open" even when I go to something else or close that page. I just did some updates on other apps and see those apps are still "open". How do I close them? I'm sure it's draining my battery. Help!

If you are referring to the fact that, in the App Store app, after you have installed or updated an App, that the Install button changes to now read "Open" then this does not mean that the App is Open and running. It means, rather, that, if you touch the button now marked "Open", the App will be started and "Open". It's just a quick way to get to the App you have just installed or updated.

I have dragged 2 files to the trash bin but I cannot delete them from the trash bin. It keeps telling me these files are in use when they are not. How do I delete these files? One is a txt file and the other is an xls file

From the Finder menu select 'Secure Empty Trash'. If this or the suggestion above doesn't resolve the problem take a look at the various suggestions in this link:

I downloaded the new 7 update and now my iPad won't charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use ?

i downloaded the new 7 update on my ipad. it now will not charge to 100% and loses power even when not in use. any solutions ??

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
Then plug it in and let it fully charge.

When opening the App Store a pop up window comes up and will not let me close it even when I touch outside the window

Close apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the app's windows upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen

Credit exposure updating even when the sales order is blocked

Hi,
We are using FSCM credit management. We observed that the credit exposure is updated even when the sales order is blocked. When we investigated it is found out that SD has removed the requirement 101 in the subsequent functions. The reason is they want the confirmed quantity to be updated even though the order is blocked. This will allow the Material Planning to go ahead and purchase the goods. Is there a way around it where we can have MM see the confirmed quantity in the order and it will not updated the credit exposure?
Thanks and Regards
Madhu Vutukuri

Hi Sravan,
Please let us know, whether the document is really getting reflected in the blocked documents list for a particular kind of block and you are releasing that particular block in the specified area as we have different areas for releasing blocks. Chances are that in the mean time, the concerned block might have been removed in the system and not updated as it might have been. It will be of great help, if you can provide us with the screenshots of the process followed.
Regards,
Aman

I have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pcthat I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not cBooking referenceonnected to a network.

i have a large number of PDFs documents stored on a windows pc that I would like to access on my iPad mini even when not connected to a network. Does anyone know a solution. Eg maybe card reader and a app.

Those devices have mixed results depending on the application. If the application does not support the device, then you are out of luck. There is no file manager in IOS to allow you to move files between folders because there are no folders that you can access. An app has to specifically support a storage location to access files.
It's not that bad. The app has to have the ability to accept data from another app. The latest memory dongles come with an ios app to access the external storage. You then transfer the pdf from dongle's app to your app. If your app can accept data from dropbox, it will be able to accept data from the memory dongle app.

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer

Firefox crashes - even when not using the computer
Sometimes I can walk away from the computer and only have one tab open (e.g. Facebook) and when I come back to the computer a few hours later, Firefox has crashed for no reason.

Unfortunately the linked crash report is empty (@ EMPTY: no crashing thread identified; corrupt dump) and doesn't include any data, so it is not possible to find the cause of the crash.
Did you recently submitted other crash reports that were submitted and show a crashing thread?
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Firefox+crashes
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13

# Question
I am informed by FF that there are updates. When I click on them the window just says it's trying to connect to the server and never does. I am never able to update and I believe FF is now up to 3.6.17.
I have a Mac Powerbook with 10.4.11 and FF 3.6.13.

That is because that Firefox 3.6.x version has been released later than the Firefox 4 version.
If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Firefox 3.6.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
* Install the new version that you have downloaded

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ?

When I print pictures from my IMAC to my Hp C8180 they are grainy, even when I select the Best Quality- Why can't I get good quality printing from Imac ? Use the same printer with a PC and printed the same picture files- they are printed with high quality- Why can't the IMAC do the same?

Does this involve iPhoto for the Mac?
How exactly are you printing these photos?

Ipod 4 wiped out? I plugged it in to my work computer (used strictly for charging - home computer is where my files are updated) - but today it erased my ipod! Everything is gone

I plugged it in to my work computer (used strictly for charging - home computer is where my files are updated) - but today it erased my ipod! Everything is gone! It is asking me set-up questions (Language, country) and asking me to plug it in & go to ITUNES - problem is, my itunes icon is not working? It usually loads as soon as I plug the Ipod in but not today? I can take it home & plug it in & hopefully my files will come back but why is it doing this? (I've had it more than a year & it's never done this?)

It sounds like a setting change on the computer and iTunes synced the iPod. Yo can only sync with one iTunes library, if yo switch the iPod gets erased and its contents replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the computer.
Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and make sure that the box that says "Prevent iPods.. syncing automatically" is checked.

My word files are all corrupted- when i open 'get info' under "More info" they all have 'Photos for Personal Use or Home Display" and Authors: technology

My Word files are corrupted. When I open 'Get Info' then 'More Info' I find 'Photos for Personal Use or Home Display' and 'Authors' : Technology. - Nothing to do with the file I'd just written. My most recent files can't be saved or opened.
Is this Malware or some other kind of attack? I grabbed photos yesterday from what seem to be freely available pictures online. I discovered Firevault and Firewall were both turned off. (I hadn't checked before.) Any suggestions?

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
