Icons enlarging to the point of rendering iPad2 useless

Accessibility settings are NOT enabled. Tried complete restore to factory settings and still have same problem. 2 icons take up the ENTIRE screen - I think the iPad is toast. It's an iPad2. When I have had crashes on other iPads in the past, I was always able to do a restore and have them work. This is different. How do you know when it's time to give up and replace?

After you visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Store and they say your iPad is toast. Until then you have hope.

Skype broken to the point of being completely useless

Windows 8.1Skype 7.5.85.102IE 11.0.9600.17631 I have been frustrated with Skype since I upgraded to Windows 8. I installed the desktop version and when someone called both versions would ring and after I answered one, the other would keep ringing. I uninstalled the metro version and that's when things really started to go south. I have never answered calls from someone else. Not once on this computer has that worked. I click on the answer button and it just keeps ringing and ringing. Both versions till ring despite every last trace of the tiled version being removed. I have to call someone twice before it rings at their end, if it rings at all. I frequently get no answer even when I know the other person is sitting at their computer waiting for my call. Maybe 1 in 10 calls go through. It crashes repeatedly. It stops responding and I have to kill the process. In short, every single time it takes about 10 minutes of fiddling with it to make a call happen. I'd have ditched it long ago but my parents know how to use it and they are not that technically savvy. I've done the usual things, uninstalled, reinstalled, latest versions, older versions etc. etc. If anyone here can help me I'd much appreciate it.

Additionally ringing can come from any Oultook client. So if you have your mail open in a browser you would either close it or disable the audio via the speaker icon on the lower right corner of the browser page. Your audio drivers were/are crashing/becoming non-responsive which is probably assisting in causing the unresponsiveness as a whole. I would suggest you update your outdated audio drivers to possibly even newer ones. The latest generic Realtek audio drivers (High Definition Audio Codecs - 64 bit Windows 8.1)http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ Other thing you can do: You can also run msconfig (Windows Key +R) "msconfig" and do a selective startup (unchecking a least startup items) vs. a normal startup and see if anything changes (you can switch it back after a reboot). If your current Firewall/AntiVirus solution is causing huge delays in your system you can try temporarily disabling/uninstalling them to see if it stops. There is also an issue with one of the USB-based device on your system that is causing huge delays in the User-Mode Driver Framework causing it to crash. A crash occurs when the device does not respond within the requested time which is a rather large chunk of time. I'm not sure what this device is as nothing came up in a web search: USB\VID_2672&PID_000E&REV_0001It could be a USB controller, MTP/Media. or storage device and updating its drivers, removing or disabling it may resolve some system-wide issues as well. Something like a cell phone/MP3 player not drawing enough power from USB causing the device detection to go up and down partially freezing the system could be a possiblity as well.

Flash Player use to execute the main class entry point before rendering. Now it does not

Adobe Flash Player use to execute the main class entry point before rendering the first frame. Now using the latest browsers and Flash Player 11.8 (11.8.800.94, or 11.8.800.97 for Chrome).
With one of our swf apps, there are visual display objects on the first frame of the timeline. When the main class constructor is executed, those display objects are set to visible = false. So previously those display objects were never displayed because the first frame did not render until after the main class code was ran.
Now when we browse to the our website, we find that those display objects are visible for a split moment of time (such as a quarter of a second).
It appears that this may be a bug. We are wondering this could be new behavior based on loading/unloading the swf to optimize CPU usage and that Flash Player is taking a snapshot of the internal state of the first frame and displaying the cached snapshot before it actually loads.
So...Chris (or other Adobe representative), is Flash Player supposed to be rendering the display before any code executes it runs the main class?

Not that I'm aware of. If this is something that just started with 11.8, then we could be running into some sort of bug injection. Could you please open a new bug report on this over at bugbase.adobe.com? When adding the bug, please include sample code, application or URL so we can quickly test this out internally. If you'd like to keep this private, feel free to email the attachment to me directly ([email protected]).
Once added, please post back with the bug number and we'll investigate from there.

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver!

The latest changes to the function to "Upload to FTP Host" has rendered this useless - no point using a program like Muse if I can not easily and automatically upload the work to the webserver! I use BlueHost webhosting that has a primary domain and I have several domains with that account (as sub-domains or folders on this server) - with past versions of Muse when uploading pages it simply opened an alert window to tell me (what I already know) that the website I was uploading does not point to the primary domain BUT NOW Muse tries to create a new separate folder in the root directory of the primary domain - completely ignoring the directory path I am giving it - useless! Why make these senseless changes to the program - and so often - very frustrating it is like amateur ware!.

Hi Stephen,
There are some issues with the upload to ftp via Muse, which the engineering team is aware of and those will be fixed in a future build of Muse. At this point the work around would be to export the html from Muse and then upload via some third party ftp client like filezilla.
I will recommend that you keep an eye on our release notes page to get more updates on it - Release notes | Adobe Muse CC

All icons of video of files on my ipad2 white, and names of files aren't present sketches. What to do?

When you make a move to an external hard drive, it's really an all or none proposition. You can move the iTunes music folder to the EHD, then change your iTunes preferences to point iTunes to the iT music folder on the EHD. The following link will explain things in detail, as there is a little more involved then simply moving a few files.

Try to set the Flash plug to click-to-play by setting the permissions for Flash to "Ask To Activate" in "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Plugins".
That way you can activate the Flash plugin when you need it via the Lego block icon on the location bar.
You can check for problems with current Shockwave Flash plugin versions and try this:
*check for updates for your graphics drive drivers https://support.mozilla.org/kb/upgrade-graphics-drivers-use-hardware-acceleration
*disable protected mode in the Flash plugin (Flash 11.3+ on Windows Vista and later)
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

The icons in the bookmark tool bar are blank and the text that use to be below the icon is gone. I now have to cursor over the blank icons to see the text and the one I want. Can the icon/text customization be returned?

In the Navigation Toolbar, the icons "Back", "Forward" etc. show the small icon and the descriptive text below the Icon. My Bookmark Toolbar use to have the same icon/text format but at some point, possibly a browser update, that changed. Currently, I do have a visible Bookmark Toolbar BUT the icons do not show the website icon, as previously, and the text below each icon is gone. I an cursor over each icon and the text becomes visible next to the icon. This is a bit of a pain to find a bookmark. Can I do a customization to return to the icon/text format.
Was this changed because browser users requested this option, or was it an internal decision.? If the later why make such changes when not requested?
Ed Sander

That wasn't a change in Firefox. It sounds like something is broken in your Firefox installation, or you are misunderstanding the different between the Bookmarks Toolbar and the other Toolbars.
In the Bookmarks Toolbar the text appears next to the website icon, not below the icon as with the other two Toolbars, and it's not switchable between text and no text as with the other Toolbars. With both the bookmark icon and the Bookmark name missing, something is broken in your installation. You need to do a little troubleshooting.
Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode? 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode] 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
If not, see this: 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes]
If your problem isn't related to an extension, your bookmarks data base file (places.sqlite) is probably corrupt. 
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite 
Be aware that if you delete the "places.sqlite" and similar files, your bookmark website icons won't automatically appear (the JSON backups don't have that icon data) when you restart Firefox and the places.sqlite is rebuilt using the backup data file, but the icons should be saved the first time each bookmark is used for the first time.

Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

Hello,
My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
'option-o' --opens selected items
'option-w' --closes an open window
This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417). Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

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.

Folder icon with an exclamation point

My ipod told me I had a corrupt disk so I restored it. I then tried to sync it with my itunes library but after a while it said "The iPod (my name) cannot be synced. The required file (or disk) cannot be found." And then it says the sync is finished. When I look at my iPod, only a few of my songs appear as opposed to the number that it got to when syncing. I then tried restoring it again but the computer now freezes and doesn't find the ipod and only unfreezes when the ipod is unplugged. Occasionally itunes comes up with a message about my ipod being corrupt and needs to be restored even when the ipod isn't plugged in. Now the folder icon with an exclamation point has come up on my screen, and it will not connect to the computer at all. I have tried putting it into disk mode but it still doesn't work. does this mean that I have no hope and I will have to buy a new one??

I have tried all of those. when i even tried to
restore factory settings, it said ipod manager
internal error. what is that? and one other thing i
noticed, the lock symbol that appears when you slide
the hold button appers at the bottom of the computer
screen when my ipod is attached, I guess suggesting
that it is locked, but when i toggle it on the ipod
itself it appears and disappers as indicated. this
is driving me nuts!
iPod Manager Internal Error deals with the software versions you have on your computer. One of them might be out of date. Make sure you have iTunes 6.0.4 (open iTunes, click on Help, click on About iTunes. The version is the top line of the gray text that scrolls up). Then make sure you have iPod Updater 2006-03-23.
If you need to update iTunes you can get it at
www.apple.com/itunes/download
If you need to update iPod Updater you can get it at
www.apple.com/ipod/download
If you find that your software is all up to date, try just restarting your computer, and then restoring again. (If you have your iPod in disk mode, you should disconnect it before you restart your computer).
If that doesn't work, just uninstall and reinstall iTunes. This should resolve the iPod Manager Internal Error.
As far as the lock icon goes... I'm not sure about that one. It might have something to do with having the iPod in disk mode, or it might just be acting weird because of what's going on with the iPod right now. As long as it isn't blocking you from trying the steps to fix the iPod, I wouldn't worry too much about it for now. Maybe it'll act normally once you resolve the !folder.
Best wishes,
