Finder WebDAV still unreliable to the point of impossible: MobileMe misery

The biggest let down in 10.6, including 10.6.2, from my perspective is WebDAV in the Finder. It is incredibly BUGGY. This was not the case previously, despite a very long history of WebDAV flakiness in general.
Typical experience: I am on my MobileMe iDisk. I am trying to examine the files and folders inside my Public folder. I attempt to open a folder to see what I have there. What do I find?
1) The Finder starts going into Sit & Spin mode on a regular basis while I am working in my iDisk.
2) Eventually the Finder will FLAKE OUT and no longer see what is on my iDisk. It starts telling me that folders full of files have '0 items'. The result is that I can no longer, after that point, navigate properly in my iDisk. It's impossible.
The solution? I have to EJECT my iDisk and start all over again! I N F U R I A T I N G and entirely unacceptable.
I thought the WebDAV bug reportedly fixed in 10.6.2 was the one. But it was NOT.
I'm reporting this nasty bug here in the discussions so other people recognize they are not alone. But I am calling Apple directly to day to get them to finally solve this mess. Here they are selling the MobileMe service with yearly contracts, I'm up for renewal, and I can't use my iDisk reliably?! Bad show Apple.

The Finder starts going into Sit & Spin mode on a regular basis
Lots of users are seeing this, in various configurations.
Be aware that laptops are typically resource constrained - processing video as an example can tax the hardware and software. If you have large demands you might want to consider upgrading the physical RAM to max, along with a HD that has a faster spindle speed and larger buffer - you might even consider moving to a desktop system.
By all means be sure any 3rd party apps AND plug-ins are Snow Leopard compatible.
If issues continue, you may consider walking that portable in to the nearest Apple store and asking for opinions from the staff.
Good luck in any case.

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7. How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

The 'Point and Find' is still not compatible with Nokia E72. The applications that you find from ovi store also depends on its compatibility with your device.

I have files that say they are missing or offline. I have checked all my folders off of lightroom and they can not be found. I have used the ? mark settings to find and still not found. I can see the images on lightroom so they have to be in my system some how. How can I retrieve these images? Is there a re boot for lightroom? Need help ASAP!

You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location.

Need to find out how to lock a point in a path that will not allow the rest of the path to rotate or move around it

Hello,
I am having some trouble with using shape layers and paths to create a solid, flat 'hair' effect in a cartoon animation.
I have used a semicircle shape layer as the hair on the head itself and then a path with a stroke of the same width as the semi circle to be the long part of the hair.
Unfortunately when I move/rotate the bottom point in the path it causes gaps to appear further up where the stroke is rotating around the point at which the stroke is supposed to "connect" to the semi circle.
I have included a couple of screenshots of me rotating the hair opposite ways so you can see.
- imgur: the simple image sharer
- imgur: the simple image sharer
I need to find out if there is a way to lock the top point in place where it joins the semi circle blond hair which will stop this part from moving at all, even rotating around the point.
But the bottom needs to move freely and obviously the part between the two points will move fairly naturally.
If you can imagine how a girl with long hair has her hair attached to her head, it does not move at all, but the bottom moves freely. It needs to be like this.
If you can provide any assistance it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That is perfect thank you so much!
Can't believe I didn't think of that but you da real MVP!

I cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried redownloading it but it still gave me the same message?

i cant access firefox, everytime i try i get that windows can't find the file, i tried downloading it again but it still gave me the same message. the problem has nothign to do with my internet because it wonks on internet explorer and everythign is fine, my computer just can't access firefox for some reason. i tried uninstallign ti adn then installing it again, but that didnt work, i tried installing a different version and it still didnt work.
okay the exact message is" Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla Forefox 4.0 Beta 1\firefox.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search.
Nothing happens after i install is the "Launch Firefox now" checkbox set, the same message comes up.
i usually start firefox from the shortcut i have on my desktop but when this happened i thought that the shortcut is the problem, but i went to the Mozilla firefox folder and tried it from there, but it didnt work. i also tried downloading different versions of firefox but that didnt work either.

can you tell me the solution to "windows cant find firefox" error. thanks.

Can I create a wi-fi network on my macbook and still connect to the internet via an actual wifi point?

Hi,
I got TrakProDJ from the app store and installed it.
It allows me to control a DJing software with my iPad by setting up a network via Wifi Symbol in Toolbar>Create Network...
The problem with this is the network I create isn't based in the internet--it's just a wifi link between my laptop and iPad.
I'm sure I'll get asked to play songs I'll have to look up on youtube, so how is it possible that I can maintain my wifi network connection on my macbook and create an access point for my iPad to use to communicate with my laptop (to control the DJing software)?
I'll really appreciate any help I can get!
Thank you!

You cannot use both an ad-hoc network and a normal ap based one with any wireless device. Your only solution is to use a wired Internet connection to do so on the laptop, that way you use that for Internet access and your wifi for the ad-hoc network the app requires. You might want to contact the developer of that app and find out why they limit the setup to just an ad-hoc wifi setup. Seems that if all it requires is just a network connection to the laptop, they could simply use any existing network connection as long as both devices can see each other on it. Either that or also give the user the option to use Bluetooth for it if they have the higher version of hardware to support the necessary data exchange.

Hello Pushtheriver,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
Get help using iCloud storage
This may also help:
Understanding iOS device capacity
You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

TS5249 After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead. I need help getting the old effects back.

After reverting back to Garageband 6.0, I find that I still lack all the Garageband Effects (Distortion, Vocal Transformer, etc.). The Garageband 10 "AU" plug ins are there instead.
For background: I lost my v6 because I had to reformat my whole hard drive. When I reformatted I lost GB and everything else I had. I downloaded GB (unaware of the awfulness that is v10) from the App Store. The fact that v10 does not have all my favorite and most used effects from v6, I uninstalled v10 and redownloaded v6 from my App Store Purchases. I load up v6 only to find that all the default effects are there for each instrument, but when I go to add an effect (i.e. Distortion, Vocal Transformer, Flanger, etc.), instead of the list of classic effects, there's the list of awful AU effects from v10. What gives?!

I don’t have this issue, but I am looking to learn about which parts of the old GarageBand can safely migrate to the new GarageBand 10.
(Personally, I like most of what changed in the new version. I sorely miss a few features, and I submitted some detailed feedback. If you think similarly—or if you hate the new version like babygotbackup—do the GarageBand community a favor, and send in your own feedback! From the menu, select GarageBand ▶︎ Provide GarageBand Feedback.)

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
