Having a common yet unfounded problem with

Hello
Having a common yet unfounded problem with my trackpad, or is it?
First, The trackpad has always worked just fine on my iBook Dual USB 800 MHz, like most folks I use a mouse when I am on the laptop, so i trried to use the trackpad the other day and I noticed 2 things...
It wasnt functioning and the trackpad feature was missing from system prefs mouse and key board (running OS X10.4.11)
so I haven't used my trackpad in months, i try to test it and piff! nothing...
there is one final point, hours before i chose to tes tthis the book took a tumble on its right front corner, so naturally this could be a if not the contributing factor?
any ideas?

Did you unplug the mouse when you tried to use the trackpad? If not, I would suggest that you try that.
If the trackpad doesn't work when no mouse is plugged in, you may want to try resetting the PMU.
The PMU (Power Management Unit) controls trackpad function, so resetting it often helps when the trackpad isn't working (or isn't working right).
If the trackpad still doesn't work after resetting the PMU, chances are the fall may have something to do with the trackpad not working. If you're lucky, it may just be that its plug has jiggled loose from its connection. Detailed instructions on plugging it back in can be found in this comprehensive post by Michael Baker:

Good luck.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

Is this yet another problem with 7.5 or is it just me . . .

Upgrade seemed to be fine, at first . . . now I keep getting distortion on songs. It seems to be quite random and just because a song has been distorted when I've listened to it once doesn't mean it will be when I listen to it again! It's driving me insane. Is this yet another bug or have I done something wrong (apart from upgrading to 7.5).

Hi Emlou,
If you have a Windows based operating system such as XP -
It seems to me that you are suffering what I am having the same problem with - the program takes up to much of your computer's processing usage. If you go into your task manager and watch performance as ITunes runs - you will see how much of the total computer usage it is taking at any given moment - that's why your songs are distorted, slowing, garbled, etc - the usage on mine spikes from 11% - 93% AT ANY GIVEN MINUTE! I have no idea why, but I have found that by going to your "Control Panel" and clicking on Quicktime you can adjust audio output to help. Click the audio tab, click Safe Mode Wavout only (checkbox) / Then adjust the "Rate" to 96kHz / Then adjust the "Size" to 16 bit. Close that and shut down and restart Itunes - it might help a little for you.
Maybe someone out there can help us find out why we are suffering with all the CPU usage trouble and how to adjust that spiking.
Thanks!

[yet another] problem with proxy

On my PC, sometimes I am connected directly to the Internet and sometimes via VPN. In the latter case, all Internet traffic goes via http/https/socks proxy. In either of these situations Skype works well, but...
The is a problem when I disconnect from VPN, that is:
1. I am connected directly to the Internet
2. Skype is working well
4. I connect to VPN
5. Bang...Skype gets disconnected and does not manage to re-connect
6. I re-start Skype and everything is OK (that is, Skype starts working via proxy)
Funny thing is, that in the opposite direction (when I start Skype while connected to VPN and than disconnect the VPN tunnel), Skype manages to detect this (probably because the VPN network interface goes down) and re-connects automatically. However, it cannot re-connect automatically when VPN tunnel is established.

finally ive got some one suffering in same problem.
hei buddy me also having the same prob.
i use cakewak for recordings

after a min it is no more on beat
its beame half socond faster
havent you solved your prob yet???

I am having some display and loading problems with my Mac book pro..I have filled just 10 gb of space..Since buying it 3 months back I have been pretty disappointed with use of this laptop..I would like a new one.

after talking to the apple guys I wasnt satisfie as they told me everything is correct but it still makes those errors.

Take it to an Apple store or AASP. As far as getting a new one unless there is something radically wrong with the one you have that cannot be repaired you're out of luck. You're not satisfied about what? If you have problems then you need to elaborate and describe them here. Moaning doesn't do it.

Blue Yeti microphone problem with iPad 2!

I have a Blue Yeti microphone which I connect to a powered hub (Logik LP4HUB10) and an Apple camera connection kit which I then have used through GarageBand on my iPad 2. Due to various reasons I did not use the Yeti for about 9 months or so. Anyway, when I returned to use it today, when I plug in (through recommended connection sequence) and turn on GarageBand, the microphone does not work. The light is on constantly (doesn't even blink when I press the mute button) and GarageBand does not seem to acknowledge the microphones existence (not even an error message of any sort). I have tried the microphone on my PC and it works fine. The Yeti previously worked fine through GarageBand on my iPad 2. Therefore, can anyone provide any help at all? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
C

It's really hard to say why it's not working since it should not work to begin with.
That's a completely unsupported configuration and could very well damage your iPad.

Ok, yet another problem with my mini...frusterating much?

Alright, I have an iPod mini, it is a 4 Gig Ipod mini, said to hold up to a thousand songs or so. Mine currently is holding 438 songs. My itunes on the other hand has 703 songs, and only holds up to 3.69 gigs. Which leaves me with a fair bit of room I would think. I am hesitant to use the restore to factory settings thing and erase everything since i have had such trouble with that in the past. My ipod says there is not enough free space to hold all those songs and furthermore I have lost quite a few off of my mini. I don't know what I should do and how to go about it! Any help would be wonderful. Thanks.
Sarah

No in actual fact its about 449, I went and restored my ipod, and that's pretty bad if they advertise it for 4 gigs and only give you 3.7 gigs. But in any case it has held up to 703 in the past, which is how many I have in my library at the moment. But it just spent about six hours updating and hasn't moved which I don't understand. Should I restore it again? I don't know what else to do, I can get rid of some of my songs, but I wouldn't like too, there is enough space for all my fav's. So I'm at a loss of what to do. Help? Also, when I was having trouble before it did this as well, but I don't know how I fixed it, it was quite a few months ago. I keep getting this error that says " disk cannot be read from or written too" does that have something to do with my usb port?

After having installed Mavericks I have problems with PSCS5 and the RAW converter. The glider for Exposure goes back to zero, when I use the fill in glider.

When I use PSCS5 after having upgraded to Mavericks I have problems when I use the RAW converter. The glider for exposure goes back to sero, hven I use the glider for fill in light, that means that my PSCS5 program not can be used. What do I do?

Single click on the Home button. Then double click on the Home button. In the recently used row, touch and hold the Contact app till they start to wiggle and then tap the minus sing by the contacts app.
Also make sure the Contact program on your computer is closed.

Fast PC yet still problems with memory optimisation on CS3

I have a Dell 690 with eight 3GHZ processors and 3 Gig of RAM.
I'm editing a half-hour documentary with lots of video audio and still files.
Often when I create a new title caption, I receive a warning that memory is low. And now it's freezing up all the time when I'm animating stills (particularly when I apply a heavy effect like Gaussian Blur).
Do I need more RAM? Or is Premiere CS3 just as lacking as the previous versions, when it comes to editing big projects?
ed

Two suggestions:
1) make sure that under the Preferences options, there's a setting somewhere that says something to the effect of optimize for Performance vs Memory. (By default, it's set to performance). Switch that to memory.
2) Consider using Vista 64. That will allow any 32 bit process to access up to 4 gigs of virtual address space instead of 3 gigs. This should help considerably... plus, you could throw more memory into the machine which would help if you're running multiple concurrent applications (case in point, if you're attempting to use Dynamic Link between AE & PPro).

I'm having problems with my keyboard since the 8.3 update. It's like the keys get stuck, I keep touching the keys, then it adds a period. I tried the soft reset, I turn my phone off every night. Help?

MY keyboard has been giving me trouble since I updated the iOS 8.3. It stutter stops while I'm texting, if I keep trying to type it may eventually catch up, but also drops a period if I keep hitting the space bar because the cursor isn't moving. Yet another problem with an update. This has been the worst year to own an apple product!

You mentioned that you tried connecting to other types of routers - was that successful?
Have you tried resetting your Network settings within your phone?
I Tried everything you mentioned before, and still havin" the problem, Im gonna try these un-official solutions --> https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4909703?start=240&tstart=0
Do you think that by upgrading to iOS 7 can solve this problem?

Studio 12.1 Performace Analyzer 7.7 problem, with 'er_print' utility.

I am having a minor but nagging problem with a regression in the er_print utility of the Sun Performance Analyzer suite bundled in Studio 12. is there maybe a patch available or in the works?
I have not had any success in finding a resolution by searching the open literature
The issue is that the callers-callees listing only dumps functions in alphabetical order, ignoring the sort order specified by sort. This is a regression from the Performance Analyzer (7.4) behavior from Sun Studio 10. We only recently jumped to studio 12.1.
This functionality is documented here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/821-0304/afaid?a=view (as well as many other references). To quote:
callers-callees
Print the callers-callees panel for each of the functions, in the order specified by the function sort metric (sort)."
I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top N functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
Has anyone heard of this problem or are there Performance Analyzer patch(es) available. I saw some for 7.6 and another for unspecified but have not seen this problem in patch notices.
Thanks.
Regards,
Steve

Nik, thanks for taking a look. We can't go to 12.2 because we're a software developer and we'll lose our binary compatibility with the release we've been building for the last few months. I'm a systems guy and will paste in a developer's example below.
Note Marc's url shows a 12.1 Performance Analyzer patch 142369-01 we have not yet installed. The patch notice description doesn't show much. I'll pass on patch info to remote user/developer.
Developer example:
I use a script input to er_print that in the past analyzed the top N functions sorted on inclusive thread time. Now I have to be sure to dump ALL functions and need a third-party search tool to find that information in the resulting report.
Heres a shortened (only 4) example of the behavior Im seeing the focus of the functions in callers-callees are NOT those of the functions determined by the sort metric.

A problem with ArrayLists

Hello
I'm pretty new to Java, and sometimes all those objects, instances, classes, data types etc confuse me. I'm having some kind of a problem with ArrayLists (tried with vectors too, didn't work) . I'm writing a program which takes float numbers from user input and does stuff to them. No syntax error in my code, but I get a java.lang.ClassCastException when I run it.
I insert stuff to the ArrayList like this:
luku.add(new Float(syotettyLuku));no problem
I'm trying to access information from the list like this inside a while loop
float lukui = new Float((String)luku.get(i)) .floatValue();but the exception comes when the programme hits that line, no matter which value i has.
Tried this too, said that types are incompatible:
float lukui = ((float)luku.get(i)) .floatValue();What am I doing wrong? I couldn't find any good tutorials about using lists, so i'm really lost here.
I'll post the whole code here, if it helps. Sorry about the Finnish variable and method names, but you get the idea :)
package esa;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Esa {
static final int maxLukuja = 100;
static BufferedReader syote = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
static String rivi;
static String lopetuskasky = "exit";
static double keskiarvo;
static ArrayList luku = new ArrayList();
static int lukuja;
static float summa = 0;
// M��ritell��n pari metodia, joiden avulla voidaan tarkastaa onko tarkasteltava muuttuja liukuluku
static Float formatFloat(String rivi) {
    if (rivi == null) {
        return null;
    try {
        return new Float(rivi);
    catch(NumberFormatException e) {
        return null;
static boolean isFloat(String rivi) {
    return (formatFloat(rivi) != null);
// Luetaan luvut k�ytt�j�lt� ja tallnnetaan ne luku-taulukkoon
static void lueLuvut() throws IOException{
    int i = 0;
    float syotettyLuku;
    while(i < maxLukuja) {
        System.out.println("Anna luku kerrallaan ja paina enter. Kun halaut lopettaa, n�pp�ile exit");
        rivi = syote.readLine();
        boolean onkoLiukuluku = isFloat(rivi);
        if (onkoLiukuluku) {
            syotettyLuku = Float.parseFloat(rivi);
            if (syotettyLuku == 0) {
                lukuja = luku.size();
                break;
            } // if syotettyluku
            else {
                luku.add(new Float(syotettyLuku));
                i++;
            } // else
        } // if onkoLiukuluku
        else {
           System.out.println("Antamasi luku ei ole oikeaa muotoa, yrit� uudelleen.");
           System.out.println("");
        } // else
    } // while i < maxlukuja
// lueLuvut
static void laskeKeskiarvo() {
    int i = 0;
    while(i < lukuja) {
        float lukui = ((float)luku.get(i)) .floatValue();
        System.out.println(lukui);
        summa = summa + lukui;
    }   i++;
    keskiarvo = (summa / lukuja);
} // laskeKeskiarvo
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
lueLuvut();
laskeKeskiarvo();
} // main
} // class

Thanks! Now it's functioning.
As I mentioned, I tried this:
float lukui = ((float)luku.get(i))
.floatValue();And your reply was:
float lukui =
((Float)luku.get(i)).floatValue So the problem really was the spelling, it should
have been Float with a capital F.
From what I understand, Float refers to the Float
class, Correct. And float refers to the float primitive type. Objects and primitives are not interchangeable. You need to take explicit steps to convert between them. Although, in 1.5/5.0, autoboxing/unboxing hide some of this for you.
so why isn't just a regular float datatype
doing the job here, like with the variable lukui?Not entirely sure what you're asking.
Collections take objects, not primitives, and since you put an object in, you get an object out. You then have to take the extra step to get a primitive representation of that object. You can't just cast between objects and primitives.
Again, autoboxing will relieve some of this drudgery. I haven't used it myself yet, so I can't comment on how good or bad it is.

Problem with nokia 3230

AA
i have proble with my mobile nokia 3230
i try 2 start it but it didn`t start
and when it starts and this is rarly it works few minutes and then make something of
1- switch off and didn`t start again
2- restart itself and then wait minutes then switch off
i thought it is avirus i installed antivirus but it didn`t work or also opened
note: in the minuted of working with my mobile it works perfectly and all programs works except anti.
i need a solution pls

I suffered from a similar problem. My nokia will continually shutdown. recently up to 9 times a day.
I searched the net and found this to be a common wide spread problem with the 3230. Apparently some have had some luck by getting the latest version of firmware installed.
I am having some luck at the moment with a reprieve from the problem. All i did was clean the battery contacts and kept the charge full. I think it is more coincidence than a fix. I will be getting the phone flashed with newer version of firmware very soon.
stay calm. many have ditched this model because of this fault.
cheers.

Problem with adobe flash player, it's installed but doesn't work....

I have Windows 7 - Internet Explorer 9 with both 32 and 64 - 32 being the main one used.
It's 4 months old and has worked beautifully up till a couple of days ago when trying to get into Mathletics website it tells me Javascript is diabled. Please turn on Javascript to access Mathletics website, then it comes up with
Mathletics Minimum Requirement
To view this website, Flash Player 9 or above is required. You can download the latest one for free from Adobe by clicking the image below:
We haven't touched Flash Player or Javascript so I don't know why all of a sudden this has happened after using it without any problems for 4 months.
Anyway I've checked all the suggestions re Internet Options Security (custom level etc) and checked Internet Options Programs manage add-ons, and checked under ?Help that we're running IE (without 64bit showing). I've uninstalled and reinstalled the current Flash Player version several times, and when I check http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ it shows I have version 10,3,181,34 installed, I've even copied across from my last backup the version which worked before these problems. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Java.
Can someone please help.
thanks
Maria T
New Zealand

thanks for the explanation.
I think I will leave ActiveX Filtering enabled. I have added the mathletics webiste to my restricted sites (tools, internet options, security, restricted sites) and have changed the custom level to ActiveX Filtering disabled, and I have also changed the (top right hand corner) content filtering to read "no content is filtered on this site".
Is this ok that I do that?
However, it hasn't rectified my problem.
I see there are quite a few people that seem to be having the same or similar problem with Windows 7 / IE9 and Flash Player, is it possible there's a bug?
Yes I do have Citrix installed, will contact them about that problem - thanks.
Thanks

Hello, I am have problems with coruption of the photos in a slide show after burning the DVD in iDVD. This coruption does not always appear when you preview the project. I have slowed down the burn rate to 1X and kept the quality to professional.

I am having a great deal of problems with Data coruption in slide shows after I have burned a DVD in iDVD. I have changed burn rate from best to 1X with no difference in the coruption. I have the quality set to professional with no improvement. The size of the project is near 3.95, so it should fit on a single layer burn. Should I use either iMovie to create the slide show or "Photo to Movie"? Also, can anyone comment on how I preserve the highest quality picture resolution with a slide show? If I do use iMovie or Photo to Movie, the file size should exceed the 4.2 size so, will I have to buy new DVD's which are capable to handle the double layer burn and upto 8 GB? What DVD's are recommended? Any preferred brand? Are there problems with burning with double layer? I read on this blog of numerous problems.

DVDs are LOW resolution by today's standards - only about 0.3 megapixels - so there is no way they your images on a TV set will look "High Definition". See Preparing images for iDVD slideshows at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/6675.html for recommendations on image sizes to use. Using larger images won't give you better quality, andf in some cases, will lower you image quality because the Quicktime resizing that occurs isn't the best.
