How to get rid of hiss when/noise/static using EarPods on MacBook Air'13 (and other macs)?

I still haven't found any solution to that and i love my EarPods. That's a big discomfort, especially when listening at low volume, which i do quite often.

I think what you are hearing is just air flowing around in the room causing a very similar white noise, I noticed this myself when using the "EarPods" on my Macbook Pro. It could also be caused by a damaged Audio port or the Earpods audio jack itself. Twisting the jack while inside the port may help if this is the case, but I would first highly recommend trying to wear the Earpods and then covering your ears and see if the noise goes away, as twisting could potentially cause damage. If covering your ears seems to remove the sound, then it would most likely just be airflow. If neither work and persist, I would then recommend trying to return the Earpods, or getting a new In/Out for your Mac. I am experienced with music production and sound design so if none of these solutions work, please let me know. ~SirFox

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?

How to get UTF-8 encoding when create XML using DBMS_XMLGEN and UTL_FILE ?
Hi,
I do generate XML-Files by using DBMS_XMLGEN with output by UTL_FILE
but it seems, the xml-Datafile I get on end is not really UTF-8 encoding
( f.ex. cannot verifying it correct in xmlspy )
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
I do generate it in this matter :
declare
xmldoc CLOB;
ctx number ;
utl_file.file_type;
begin
-- generate fom xml-view :
ctx := DBMS_XMLGEN.newContext('select xml from xml_View');
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowSetTag(ctx, null);
DBMS_XMLGEN.setRowTag(ctx, null );
DBMS_XMLGEN.SETCONVERTSPECIALCHARS(ctx,TRUE);
-- create xml-file:
xmldoc := DBMS_XMLGEN.getXML(ctx);
-- put data to host-file:
vblob_len := DBMS_LOB.getlength(xmldoc);
DBMS_LOB.READ (xmldoc, vblob_len, 1, vBuffer);
bHandle := utl_file.fopen(vPATH,vFileName,'W',32767);
UTL_FILE.put_line(bHandle, vbuffer, FALSE);
UTL_FILE.fclose(bHandle);
end ;
maybe while work UTL_FILE there is a change the encoding ?
How can this solved ?
Thank you
Norbert

Marco,
I tryed to work with dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file,
that works good,
but what is in this matter with encoding UTF-8 ?
in my understandig, the xmltyp created should be UTF8 (16),
but when open the xml-file in xmlSpy as UTF-8,
it is not well ( german caracter like Ä, Ö .. ):
my dbms is
NLS_CHARACTERSET = WE8MSWIN1252
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET = AL16UTF16
NLS_RDBMS_VERSION = 10.2.0.1.0
-- test:
create table nh_test ( s0 number, s1 varchar2(20) ) ;
insert into nh_test (select 1,'hallo' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 2,'straße' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 3,'mäckie' from dual );
insert into nh_test (select 4,'euro_€' from dual );
commit;
select * from nh_test ;
S0 S1
1 hallo
1 hallo
2 straße
3 mäckie
4 euro_€
declare
rc sys_refcursor;
begin
open rc FOR SELECT * FROM ( SELECT s0,s1 from nh_test );
dbms_xslprocessor.clob2file( xmltype( rc ).getclobval( ) , 'XML_EXPORT_DIR','my_xml_file.xml');
end;
( its the same when using output with DBMS_XMLDOM.WRITETOFILE )
open in xmlSpy is:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<S0>1</S0>
<S1>hallo</S1>
</ROW>

<S0>2</S0>

How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
Hope this helps to get you started.

How to get rid of the user password during start up of the newly upgraded 10.6 Mac to 10.7 Lion?

Hi All,
I previously ran Mac 10.6 Snow Leopard on my MacBook. I upgraded to 10.7 Lion today and it was successfully done. After the Mac had restarted, it took me to the usual login page (now with grey background) and was asking me for a user password. I didn't set up a password on the 10.6. I only used to hit the Return key on the keyboard and the Mac was logging me in. And now with Lion, it asks for password and whenever I press the Return key on the keyboard, it does not log me in. It shows the password hint instead. The hint says "Wala" (A filipino term for "none". I indicated it like that when I setup my user account). And Lion does not let me login without typing in a password. I don't know what to type since I don't have a password setup. Is there a way to bypass this? Can someone help shed light on this? Thank you.

As Baltwo said, you should have a password set on your computer for secutity reasons. You can set it to automatically log you on if you are the only user when starting up and you don't need to input the password.
What Baltwo was getting to was to make sure nothing was in the field such as a space. Apparantly, it won't let you log into it without a password.
I seem to remember a default password in past systems. I think it was computer. Try typing that in. If it doesn't work, then follow the steps in this article and set a password for your user account.

How to get rid of ._songs when trans to cell phone?

I use a microSD to play mp3s on my LG chocolate (I know... i'll get an iPhone one day!).
The only problem is, if I drag-and-drop 30 songs to the card, when I use it on the phone, I now have 60 items, with 30 of them being duplicate titles with "._"
in front of the title and no way to delete them. These files do not play, of course. I am thinking they are not really "there."
I tried loading TinkerTool and showing invisible files on the card,but there was only 1, a DS store(?)file that I deleted. Didn't help. Is there any way to take care of those pesky pseudo-duplicates?

Anyone?

How to get rid of timestamp when taking notes in preview?

Hi,
I frequently annotate (using the 'take note' function) when reading pdfs and I would like to get the date and timestamp off of the notes when I am taking them. Is there any setting where I can "disable" the date and timestamp from appearing? So that way, the notes will only have my notes on there and not the date and time at which I took down those notes?
Thank you!
Bryan

you can prevent your name from appearing but not the date (Preview > Preferences > General)
to remove; select the date, time and delete (trebleclick and press delete)

Hi, everybody.
I 've programed one applet loading and showing images.

Another one is list of pictuers, so when I click one of them, it will be shown in large part.
It looks like Thumbnail showing.
The thing is when I click one image, then it is shown, but very fliped.
In fact I didn't use bufferedImage for large picture due to out of memory.
So, any suggestion? any help or advice?

Write-Progress display - How to get rid of it when complete?

This seems straight forward, but I haven't seen/found the answer...
My progress bars hang around too long. I would like them to go away when complete, but they don't always.
Typically the Write-Progress is within a loop, and it works. Then imediately after the loop I add "Write-Progress -Complete", but that doesn't seem to do it.
What am I missing?

Not sure, but I don't think so...
There is only one instance of the write-progress cmdlet. It executes many times within the loop.
Another question comes to mind... what is the -Completed argument for? Should write-progress be called with that argument to close the display? Or, when is that argument appropriate?
I see Write-Progress twice:
While( -NOT $Script:RecordSetG.EoF )
{ #...Some code
$intCounterL ++
If( $intRecordCountL -gt 0 )
{ $dblPercentageL = 100*( $intCounterL / $intRecordCountL )
$intPercentageL = [int]$dblPercentageL
$intSecondsLeftL = ( $intRecordCountL - $intCounterL ) / 24
Write-Progress `
-Activity "Building mailbox objects..." `
-PercentComplete $intPercentageL `
-SecondsRemaining $intSecondsLeftL `
-CurrentOperation "$intPercentageL% complete" `
-Status "Please wait."
}#End If
}#WEnd
Write-Progress -Completed
I was suggesting eliminating the second one.

I have all of my data from my old macbook pro in an external hard drive. Basically it's my old Macbook hard drive with external casing. It was working fine before when retrieving files using my new macbook air, now I can't access any files?

I can't access any of my files, photos, anything form my external hard drive... It worked before now when I plug it in the light comes on, but it doesn't even show up as an external drive, so I can't access anything, I'm worried I have lost everything...

Huge mistake was only having ONE copy of your data OFF computer,
most people do it, and its just horrible and the typical reason for serious data loss.
Likely you have a very common failure (extremely common actually) called SATA bridge card failure, which would be "good" news,
read about same here:
Your dead external hard drive is likely fine! Great hope for your 'faulty' external HD
Never again let yourself have LESS than 2 copies of your important data off-computer, ever
1. verify the external HD doesnt show up on another Mac
if same, you have about a 8 in 10 chance its SATA card failure.......... easy to fix.
The great news at the end of the tunnel of an apparently failed or failing external hard drive.
When checked on another computer, and with no need for spending money on data extraction expertise or software, the very likely case is that your external USB or thunderbolt HD is in fact fine, and merely the card interface, or SATA bridge card has failed or is failing. Keeping a HD dock around handy, or cheaper still a $20 hard drive enclosure or a SATA to USB connector can be a real life saver in getting your drive back to use, when the drive itself is fine, and merely its interface card has gone bad.
The SATA bridge card inside a USB external HD has a very high failure rate in general
Typical SATA bridge cards as seen inside a 3.5" external HD with power input (#1), and 2.5" SATA cards (#3, #4, #5)
What are the realistic odds your HD is perfectly fine?
There are no hard facts whatsoever, especially since so many people discard their assumed “dead/faulty” hard drives, but a good educated conclusion from years of examining and seeing this issue is that for hard drives made since 2010, and not dropped or generally abused, is that a minimum of 50% conservatively are perfectly fine! I personally estimate however that it likely approaches 60%+.
Considering how many external hard drives ‘fail’ (rather the SATA bridge more than half the time) each day, that is a very high number of perfectly fine HD that are tossed!
This is especially common with 3.5” desktop HD that are connected 24/7 with power and see a lot of data transfer. People wrongly conclude that “X” mfg. just made a defective drive, when in fact their 3.5” drives inside the plastic enclosure is 100% fine. I have personally seen well over 200 of these dead SATA cards and additionally seen 3 fail within a one hour span of doing a large data copies.
One of the very reason pros use bare HD as inserted into HD docks is not just the saving of space and the need for endless USB cables, but the elimination of the need for this high failure-rate part.
While the shapes and sizes vary somewhat on SATA bridge cards, they all serve the same purpose and have likewise failure rates
What exactly is the SATA bridge card in your external HD?
In the middle to late of 2009, most all external hard drives both in 2.5” and 3.5” reached the shelves in SATA III. These small SATA cards or "bridges" are used to translate between the hard drives’ interfaces and the enclosures' external ports (USB, Thunderbolt, Firewire). Additionally these small bridges not only transfer power but also of course the data. Unfortunately these SATA bridge cards have a very high failure rate as they are burdened with shuffle power and data.
Literally these little unreliable and fragile cards are the power conduits and the nervous system for all external HD data transfer.
SATA card as found inside a typical USB external hard drive
The assumption that the hard drive is bad when its not!
Countless 1000s of good external hard drives are thrown away each year because the owner thought the HD was bad when it fact it was the SATA bridge card which had failed. This card is removed in a matter of mere second once an external USB HD is cracked open from its plastic casing to reveal the bare HD and the attached SATA card which attaches between the HD and the USB cable.
To complicate this problem, even many computer professionals do not know that there is a very easy solution to the “failing or dead HD” issue since the hard drive itself is very likely just fine. Its astonishing that so many highly educated computer repair persons are unaware of this high-failure part, but this is mostly due to the fact that they do not juggle 100s of hard drives and know that of the iceberg that is a “external hard drive failure”, the mostly unseen majority are not a HD failure at all, but a bridge card failure.
To add to this great misunderstanding is the fact that people assume that "likewise symptoms seen on an external HD are the same as seen on an internal HD, therefore also the external HD must be bad". This is a compositional fallacy of logic. Since internal HD do not have a SATA bridge interface, to conclude similar symptoms "indicate the same failure" is misplaced and incorrect.
This is all not to say that HD do not fail, they do indeed, and I have seen many 100s of dead and failing hard drives. Hard drives even under ideal conditions have a life expectancy of around 4-8 years due to ferromagnetic depolarization from entropy. But of the mountain of symptoms that are seen as “hard drive failures” in comments, posts, and hearsay, half or more of these are not a HD failure at all.
Once your rescued hard drive is removed from the bad SATA card
You have several options, but the purchase of a $20 HD enclosure is one option, another is having a HD dock, however this eliminates the former portability in a 2.5" small HD.
Remember that 3.5” HD require power, which means you need either a HD dock, or a powered SATA card kit as seen at top left in the picture below. 2.5” HD get power from the USB port itself.
Just remember that the serious downside to the low cost external HD enclosures is THEY TOO contain these SATA cards, and what is worse the cheap ones will fail, often, much quicker than the original factory one did! In which case it is recommended you buy a quality HD USB enclosure
Rescue tools to use with your extracted HD for data recovery

A misleading and malicious popup. Launch Safari with the Shift key held down; if that doesn't work, temporarily disconnect the computer from the Internet.
