Here is an odd one

my brother-in-law in maine just got verizon DSL (after suffering with dial-up for a long time). connects to the internet fine. mail works fine. firefox works just fine. but safari will not connect. if he tries www.apple.com he gets apple.com server not found.
this one has me stumped. any ideas?

I also live in Maine and just got Verizon DSL which is supposed to be SCREAMING fast, but no-it takes 3-4 minutes to load a page in either Safari or Firefox. I've verified and repaired permissions and see no difference. Verizon says its my computer, not them. Any tips on where to go from here? My computer did crash after the 10.5.2 update and I had to have everything retrieved and reinstalled. But it seems to be working fine, if a bit slower.

Here's an Odd one: Microsoft Excel 2010 Workbook "randomly" Becoming Protected

Either there are gnomes in our servers, someone is lying, or some sort of glitch is causing this issue (and honestly I'm not even sure which is most likely), but here's my story:
User is working on an excel workbook. This user accesses this file all the time with little to no problems. One day a week or two ago the user finds the workbook is password protected, but doesn't even know how to do this, much less remembers locking it.
My boss restores a backup of said document that is not password protected. User is able to access file, edit it, save it, etc.
The next day that same file (and only that file) is locked for the second time. We use a back door method and save a new copy with a new filename. User edits file, saves it, etc.
The next day that same file (and yes, only that file) is locked for the third time.
Am I crazy? Is someone lying to me? Do gnomes really go inside computers and wreak havoc to make me lose my sanity?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
I have the file and plan on saving an unlocked copy locally to see if the issue presents itself again.

Have you got over this odd issue yet?
If this workbook is saved in a shared drive, maybe you need to track who uses the excel file.

Here's an odd one for ya...

I usue CMD-delete to trash files all the time and have a multi-button mouse programmed to do this with a single button.
If I change the file extension suffix on a file (say .txt to .m2t), the CMD-delete capabilty of my computer goes away until I log in again. It won't work on the mouse, or with the direct keyboard combination--the only way to trash the file is to physically drag it to the trash.
Anyone else experience this oddity??

How do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

how do i get both mine and my wifes iPhones to photo stream. hers is the only one doing it

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

Here's an unusual one: RecenMacbook Pro has installation message on shutdown?

Here's an unusual one: Recently my Macbook Pro Mid 2010 Intel Core Duo (OS10.8.5) displays this message upon shutdown or restart:
Continue the Installation?
Yes / Abort. I am not installing anything at the time. In fact I always quit all Applications before shutting down.I sometimes click abort, never "Continue" or it goes away by itself in 15 seconds or so and shuts down normally. Ideas?
Not so concerned as curious...No ill effects that I see.

You may have partially installed the "Genieo" or "InstallMac" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. In addition to the files listed in the support article, you may also have to remove the following in the same way:
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.ltvbit.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.Installer.completer.update.plist
~/Library/Application Support/IM.Installer/Completer.app
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those.
After removing the malware, remember to reset your home page in all the web browsers affected, if it was changed.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
If you find Apple's instructions too hard to follow, ask for an alternative that doesn't require you to trust a black-box application without knowing what it does.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

Using the app "find my I Phone"....is there a way I am able to add my step daughters phone to mine if her mother already has one set w her phone?

Using the app "find my I Phone"....is there a way I am able to add my step daughters phone to mine if her mother already has one set w her phone?
I have my children's phones downloaded and working properly using the " Find my I Phone"

For you to be able to use "find my iPhone" to find your children's devices, you would need to have their appleID and password - and enter it each time. You can only locate one at a time.
You may find better results using "find my friends", as you can display multiple devices in the single app.
You will need to download find my friends on all the devices, and add & accept the requests, but then you would be able to see everyone.

HP Officejet Pro L7580- here's a new one for HP Mac Architect

So like all the other disgruntled HP users who foolishly installed 10.5 when it was released, I have been without a scanner ever since. Until three days ago, however, I've been able to print, as the driver for the L7580 was included in Leopard. Now, whenever I try to print a document, the print queue opens and the job says "stopped", which, incidentally, is the same thing that happens when I send a print job to my other once-was-a-printer-now-just-a-giant-waste-of-space, the Canon LBP5000. I've racked my brain trying to think if I've done something to trigger this, pestered the HP call in support center, installed, uninstalled and installed the printer again, restarted, replaced the USB cable- anything I can think of. Nothing works. I run a small business and while it's been a huge inconvenience to lose my not so inexpensive scanner, I've made due with an old one waiting for HP to get their act together and release software that actually works with 10.5. Needless to say, I cannot work without a printer. Am I going to have to go back to Tiger now? Spend untold thousands of dollars on a printer that probably won't work with leopard anyway? Can anyone advise? HP Mac Architect?

Try this for a Quick Fix ...........
After reading other forum comments from people having the same problem with the yellow cartridge popping-out, combined with others who have realised that HP have no interest in compensating anyone for this rediculous example of, at best, 'bad design', or at worst 'blatent planned obsolescence', I have created a 'quick fix' that may add another 1, 2 or more years of life to the HP Officejet Pro L7580 Printer.
This is not the elegant technical solution I was hoping for. However, in hindsight, it may prove to be a more reliable solution than replacing the faulty part that is actually causing the problem. So, here it is the Quick Fix ........
I found a wooden triangular door stop that I cut to size that fitted exactly in the space between the plastic door and the offending yellow cartridge. To hold it in place, I wrapped the doorstop with 2" cellotape, then I stuck the door stop to the inside of the plastic door with double sided cellotape (double sided stick-on foam would also work well). With the doorstop in the correct place, the plastic door closed perfectly and was snug enough to apply sufficent pressure to the offending yellow cartridge, and hence stopping it from popping out again. To make sure the plastic door does not 'fly open' with the pressure of the yellow cartridge (when it wants to pop out!), I applied another piece of 2" cellotape around the outside of the door, holding it to the body of the photocopier.
This exercise only took 10-15 mins to do. I feel this is a much better option than spending another $300+ on a new All-in-One system, as well as being a good environmental solution. If this is DELIBERATE 'planned obsolescence', companies like HP need to be more accountable for, at best, 'sloppy design'. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Odd One Step DVD Burn

A friend of mine wanted me to make some DVD copies of a couple of his mini dv tapes. Each tape has 2 videos each taken on different days. Instead of using Magic Movie, I opted to burn using One Step. I burned 2 DVDs for each tape and didn't bother to watch them on TV to see if they burned OK(I will from now on).
My friend has just told me the DVD for tape 1 turned out good, movies 1 & 2 burned onto the DVD. The 2nd tape burned as movie 1 and movie 1 instead of movies 1 & 2. The odd part is the other DVD copy of tape 2 burned as movie 1 & 2.
Anybody care to take a guess as to why one DVD has movies 1 & 2 and the other has movies 1 & 1?

OneStep DVD "loops" movies since there is no menu to exit to. That's how it works.
So, my guess is that tape one was a good tape and OneStep did it's job.
Tape 2 may have had some sort timecode problem or it may have been damaged in some way that OneStep thought the tape was over.
What you saw on the second tape was OneStep's looping feature.

One of the computers on my homesharing network is automatically downloading purchases even though settings are not checked for this to occur? What am I missing here? BTW only one of the three computers (pc) is doing this.

We have three computers (two pcs and one mac) on our home sharing network. When I buy a song on my pc it is automatically downloading it to my husband's pc - but not my daugher's mac. The settings on each library do not indicate any items should automatically download. What am I missing here? This is a relatively recent thing I just noticed. It was not always happening in this way. Help. Both pcs are on Windows 7. Thanks in advance for any help. My husband and I don't always like the same songs so I need help to get back to marital bliss....

I think I found the answer to my own problemin case anyone experienced the same thing. There is a separate spot in itunes under preferences to allow for automatic downloads from other devices. It seems unrelated to home sharing. I unchecked the boxes under the "store" section and that appears to have taken care of the issue.

Here's a bizarre one: Please help!

So I have a really strange problem with my AT&T iPhone and how it displays text messages:
I first notcied the problem on my iPhone 3Gs a few months ago and when I upgraded my plan and switched over to the new iPhone 4s, the problem was still there- so I'm just assuming, right off the bat- it's a software issue and NOT a hardware issue.
Here's the deal:
I get text messages all the time like everyone else. I hate when the convos start to pile up so I delete them after a while. Well, I deleted a converstaion I had between my cousin and I (as well as all the others) so that nothing was present in my text messaging screen. A few minutes later, my husband texted me and when I went back to the main section that shows all of your convos with everyone- as I was planning on deleting that convo with him- I noticed my texts between my cousin and I were back on the screen- even though I know I deleted them.
Funny thing is- the texts did not reappear as "new" text messages or alert me. There was no blue bubble next to them. It was as if I had already read them and never deleted them. But I did delete them. How did they magically reappear?
Well- this continued every other day where I would delete them again and then someone else would text me and when I looked back on the main text messaging screen- her texts were back again. This happens not every day- sometimes 3 days apart. And sometimes it can happen 3 times in one hour! AND! It doesn't necessarily take someone else to send me a text to have her convo appear again, Sometimes- without even getting any new messages- I look and where there was once a blank text messaging screen- now all of a sudden her texts appear.
Sometimes it's just the last text she sent to me or I sent to her and sometimes it's our entire convo at that moment. And when she does send me a new text and we write back and forth, I delete them of course, and then when they start to appear- it will be the most recent convo we had- so it's always the most recent messages.
I have called AT&T asking them to resend a signal to my phone to try and clear whatever "cashe" they tell me their system doesn't work that way and they can't figure out why I'm having this problem. I stumped them so much with this issue that they had all their higher ups in the tech deptartment trying to figure it out and they couldn't. The only option they said was to go to an Apple store and get a new phone. Problem is- this issue was happening on my 3Gs as well as my new 4s so I don't think it's the phone itself.
Here's what I've tried to fix the situation:
1. I deleted my cousin as a contact in my phone. Then I reprogrammed her in as a new contact. That didn't do anything.
2. I called her and asked her to delete me as a contact in her phone as well as delete any messages she has from me. By the way- she is using a Sprint Blackberry. That didn't work.
3. AT&T suggested I restore my phone but that hasn't worked.
Any of you smart Apple geniuses know why this keeps happening? It's more annoying than anything- only because I like to delete texts when I'm done with them- that's just the kind of person I am. Now I constantly get her old messages popping up and no matter how many times I delete- they always come back.
If anyone else has had this issue- please let me know. Thanks so much!!!

I agree with you- I do think it's an iCloud issue only because I updated my 3Gs with the new iCloud service and new software update and that's when I started having this issue. I never had an issue before that. And it sounds like an iCloud issue because it reappears even after it was deleted.
AT&T told me they do NOT see these reappear messages on my phone bill- so I know they are not coming through as new texts and I am not being charged for them. In fact, it only seems to be something that happens on my phone- since the service provider cannot even see the action happening on their end.
Of course- I have the same issue when I switched to my 4s, hence why I don't think it has to do with the hardware of the phone or AT&T's service.
BUT! My cousin has a Sprint Blackberry- so these are not iPhone to iPhone blue iMessages. They are the basic, plan old text messages- green. So weird right??? I have a MacBook Pro at home- but I didn't know that iCloud was even able to sync text messages? If so- how do I turn that feature off? Should I just disable my iCloud service? How do I do that?

HT5900 Hi I am in Ireland and while apple tv is very limited over here I still have one, My request please can u update apple tv to work as the app store I already subscribe to app which are not available in the updates you release can you fix this please

Can you update the video and Tv series abilities of apple tv in Ireland

First, not all features are available in all regions. This is clearly stated on the Apple website.
Second, these are user to user support forums. No one here has any control over what is available on the ATV.

Here's a strange one...I have 16.0.0.305, but not always?

I suddenly started getting notes flash up telling me I needed Flash Player to access a particular function on my PC. Strange, I thought, I always keep it up to date.
Long story short, I have endlessly updated, checked it's getting past my anti-virus etc, checked it's working...it's is. Yet now I have a non-conformist printer refusing
to co-operate because 'I need to install Flash Player'.
I have 16.0.0.305 version downloaded...everything is working fine, except for my printer now. The msg says that I don't have the correct version for IE. But I don't use IE, I use Firefox, and my printer has
worked perfectly up to this point. I use Windows 7.
The error msg is:
Your version of Macromedia Flash ActiveX Control isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Responses/survey.aspx/20691/9/2/embeded
I don't quite know what to do now as, apart from the printer telling me to install Flash Player, Flash Player is performing perfectly. Any IT sleuths there that can suggest next step?

Well, I'm going to answer my own post here. After hitting google and discovering I'm not alone in this issue, I found the answer.
Go to: Thank you for downloading DownloadX ActiveX Download Control from CNET Download.com
Install Active X.
Lord knows how it dropped out....but it's back and all is working.

This is an odd one, does Logic have its own clock?

Hey all,
This is one for the books over here. Does Logic have its own clock? Not as in clocking, 44.1 48 etc. Not in that respect, but rather does Logic have its own "date and time" clock separate from OS X?
Here's what's happening...
We have two rooms here. Identical. Writing done in "A" gets sent over to "B", cleaned up, sent back over to "A" etc etc. So in the "A" room, a cue comes from "B" with a last opened time of last night at 10:00 pm. A last modified time of 10:15 pm last night. That's the data if you get info on it from a finder window. Now with Logic open if you "open" a cue from Logic, navigate to where this cue is at, it says that the cue was last opened TONIGHT at 9:40pm (which is in the FUTURE) and last modified TONIGHT at 9:55pm (also in the FUTURE). We've caught it now, and things seem to be okay if you open a cue from the finder window and not from Logic->File->Open. A cue was opened from Logic yesterday, two hours of work done, saved often, and when it was closed and then opened again after lunch, none of the work was present. And the date and time modified was again in the future. So SO weird. Cleared prefs, repaired permissions. Still happening. Anyone else experiencing this? Any tips? Advice? Does Logic have its own clock? We're baffled.
Any help is greatly appreciated as always!
Best wishes,
the Earle-Tones Music crew

Brent, thanks for seconding in here. Sometimes this kind of you'd-never-expect-it-to-happen-weirdness can be easily written off as some kind of itinerant digital voodoo without this kind of corroboration.
So while we're on the subject of the finder lying... Folders are no picnic either.
If you create a folder and never open it but throw a bunch of stuff into it within the same minute that it's created, its creation date and modification date will be the same. But the simple act of opening that folder for the first time can cause its mod date to change. Or, if you go into that folder and re-organize some items, or rename some items, the folder's modification date will also change.
This means that if you have a bunch of folders contained within another folder (the "containing folder"), and you re-organize/re-name items within those folders, you can't count on the modification date of any one of the contained folders to indicate the order in which they were originally created. Because of this behavior you'll want to view by date created. But I still can't get my head around the idea that manipulation of data within a folder causes the attributes of the containing folder to change.
This may have some bearing on your current situation... or then again, maybe not LOL! : - )
