  • Is everybody having problems with Canoscan drivers-can anyone help, please?

    After starting with Leopard, my LIDE25 refuses to work, and the window from the toolbox tells me a driver cannot be found, even after redownloading the driver, which, according to the Canon website, is perfectly compatible with the LIDE25 driver. Someone is not being honest, or Apple has made a huge mistake in the bug department. My smart mailboxes don't work either.Can anyone help? I see there are others with Canon scanner driver problems on this forum - what can we do? I'm so tired of fragile scanners breaking down and needing replacement - they are like VCRs in this respect, somehow a crap technology - but this time it's surely not the scanner to blame.

    I have a Conoscan 8400F scanner, and after downloading the latest driver it actually works BETTER than it ever has... used to take almost 3 minutes to scan a 8.5 X 11 page, now less than a minute.

  • Having trouble with enhanced podcasts, Can anyone help me adjust my iPod?

    Whenever I listen to my enhanced podcasts through iTunes, I have no problems viewing the photos the podcaster included in the program. However, when I play the same podcast in my iPod, the photos will not show. I only see the timeline with the little segments that represent the chapters. I can hit the forward and back arrows and I am taken the to the next chapter marker. But, unfortunately, I do not see the photos, as I do see them in iTunes.
    Can anyone help me adjust my iPod to enable it to play enhanced podcasts correctly?
    According to the iPod manuals, I should be able to see enhanced podcasts with no trouble.
    Thanks.

    I have solved it myself. Here's how I did it:
    In iTunes, go to Edit and click to Show Art Work and leave it as "Hide Art Work." (Now it will download the enhanced messages.)
    Now go to the iPod: From the Main Menu, go to Settings. At the Settings, go to the other Main Menu. From this Main Menu, go to Music and make sure that the following are on:
    Playlists, Photos, and Photo Import, Videos, and Extras.
    Good Luck.

  • I am having a major problem with swapfiles. Can anyone help

    I have had a recurring issue for a few months now with accumulating swapfiles. My system drive fills with these files (65 x 1.9gb, the latest) slowing down the system due to finite disk space and causing some maintenence to be carried out. I have up to now been able to get rid of them using the finder to delete the actual files after making them visible in the finder(using IceClean by MacDentro). I can also use Omni disk sweeper to see the space on the drive as well as Disk Inventory X. Now I cannot delete the files. They have conglomerated into a unknown space that cannot be grabbed and trashed nor physically deleted through the finder.
    I am using an SSD 120gb drive with a system size count of 42gb. Bar 5gb the rest is this ether space that wont go away. I have a feeling that this is going to need to terminal commands witch I do not have at my disposal. Can any please help? This is driving me mad. I have reset the PRAM numerous times but this is too lightweight.
    Hard core terminal shyte, Bring it on. Please
    regards
    Ken

  • Problems with iphone 5.Can you help?..since apple wont.

    Ok. My mum bought this brand new iphone 5 from a chainstore here in Norway. It has never worked properly. Each night it totally hangs up and is unusable.
    The screen gets matrix like and there is a text saying "Panic.we are hanging in here". I have lots of apple products. And i have searched around a bit. I have figured out that this often happens with jailbreaked phones. Well this phone is not. And the store waits for apple to respond. I've tried to call apple and they will not offer any help since the phone is bought in a chainstore and not directly from then. In the meantime my mum has a phone that is unusable and worth 900$.
    It kinda ****** me off also that apple does not give any support. I have bought quite an amount of apple products trough the years,and when we finally convinced my mother to switch to apple they give this ****** service. I am not impressed.
    -But since they do not answer,maybe anyone of you can help me? I have tried the two options of reseting and also hit the round/top buttons all together.
    So...anyone?

    Hey there.
    I have reset it as suggested with itunes yester day. And it did not work.. i told her to take a pic of the phone screen when it locks.
    Any suggestions now? I think she will deliver it back to Spaceworld if there aren´t any other suggestions..
    Anyhow to you that suggested this is not a real problem.
    if you buy a phone to many hundreds of dollars..each night it locks itself and that screen above pops up. You cannot use the phone at all it before the screen dissapears. Also you carrier told you you switch off every internet options on the phone,because they cannot figure out what is wrong. So you cannot mms,or use mail or any internet option..Also you cannot ring with the phone nor text when it locks itself..
    If you do NOT call that a problem. I think YOU got a problem.
    My iphone sometimes doesn´t ring when i put my alarm on. THAT ****** me off. And that is a minor thing.
    To others that would care to help me...thanks really really a lot!!

  • Problems with constructors? can anyone help

    I want to use the Math.random() class to generate a random number
    to fill an array.In the 2 constructors i have this:
    private int[] rand;
    public Randomize(int ra[])
    {rand = new int[7];}
    public Randomize()
    {Math.random();}
    *note ra is a formal parameter
    but nothing happens. The array rand does not fill up with random numbers
    how can i fill it up with random numbers?

    Hi Mike,
    The Math.random() is a static method that returns a double value with a positive sign, greater than or equal to 0.0 and less than 1.0.
    It does not return an array or a int. If you use the Math.random method, you will have to cast your double into an int. Also you need to create a for loop to fill your array and add code to check that the value returned from the Math.random method has not already been used.

    Try to Restore with iTunes on your computer. If this does not work, there is full Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

    Anyone having problem with iphone getting a not delivered message after sending pic and it really is getting delivered to recipient.

    Same problem here with and I've done everything shy of a total reset which I also find unacceptable. This problem exists on all iMessage platforms (iPhone, iPad, and Mac) so I don't see how restoring my iPhone would help the problem.

  • My macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    my macbook pro is connected to internet via my time capsule but my iPad and iPhone won't. it shows wifi connection to the time capsule but when i go on to the internet on the iPad or iPhone, it comes up with network error. can anyone help?

    This can be caused by a number of issues.
    Was everything working and then suddenly stopped??
    Or is this a new clean setup and has never worked.
    Do you have a cable modem which is not a router and the TC setup in bridge? That will cause it. The TC must be in router mode, ie dhcp and nat.
    Check the IP the MBP gets including dns and gateway..
    Then check the ipad/iphone.. post what IP dns and gateway (router in applespeak) they get.

    This is most often due to faulty battery. Apple Genius can perform a quick several minute battery diagnostic test. Make Genius Reservation.

  • HT1222 Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1

    Is anyone having problems with iPhone Bluetooth to BMW s since iOS 6.1?

    Yes. I had an iPhone 3G and when upgraded to 6.1 the bluetooth connectivity failed progressively and eventually the phone just wouldn't connect. I broke and reestablished the pairing am few times and each time it would work for a while then disconnect to the extent I thought the bluetooth hardware in the car was failing. I then got an iPhone 5 and the same issue remained. In the last few days I've paired an old Blackberry with the car kit to rule out the BMW hardware. Blackberry is fine so it has to be iOS incompatibility.

    Dear Tim,
    I saw your message. Below are the problems:
    Whenever I connect my iphone 3GS to my PC through a USB. My itunes software comes up automatically.
    1. After that a message appears from the itunes that states that 'itunes could not connect to the itunes store, an unknown error cccured (306).
    2. After the above, an alert message comes up which states that A new iphone software version 5.1 is availlable for my iphone. It then states would you like to download it and update your iphone now? With the options buttons as Cancel or Download and Update or Download Only. Whenever I clicked on Download and Update or Download Only, the next message that comes up is that The iphone Software Update Server Could not be Contacted and suggest make sure your network setting are correct and active or try again later.
    The above is the challenges I am facing now.
