Hi.
Actually speedtest.net is not accurate for location at all - in the UK for dynamic IP addresses.
It will seem to be accurate for some users as they may well live close to the point of presence. There are other factors (network firewalls etc) that can interfere.

After Effects Cache Folder location keeps changing

Hello -
We have a non-traditional set up for After Effects at our network. We have five HP Z800s and two HP Z820s that are primarily accessed through Windows Remote Log In. Each user (we have 25) has a unique user name and password.
The first time the user logs on to After Effects they set up their cache location to a specified folder labeled AE CACHE on one of the computer's drives (not the C Drive which just holds applications.) This allows us to media manage each machine by just deleting the contents in the Cache folder once a week.
Over the past six to twelve months or so we have noticed that users' cache location change from that D: drive back to their user folder within the C Drive. This obviously quickly and dangerously fills up the C Drive. I am using WinDirStat to go through the C Drive finding cache that was moved to the C Drive.
I can't explain it. I've had editors raise the amount of Cache that can be stored to the drive, deleted the Cache folder and created a new one and tried a different location...yet every once in a while a users cache folder returns to the C Drive. It's not every user either, some haven't had any issues.
I understand we are in a unique situation with our remote log in, but if anyone has encountered anything like this and found a solution I'd really appreciate hearing about it. I'm at a loss.
Thank you.

Chris is right. My library is also stored on NAS. ALWAYS make sure drive is mounted to OS before starting iTunes. I made a shortcut on desktop to open Windows Explorer to the NAS. This ensures drive is mapped and waken up from sleep.

Why does my library location keep changing?

I kep my iTunes library on a separate internal HD. It's the ONLY thing on that drive.
TUNES: iTunes/iTunesMusic
But a few months ago, iTunes started "magically" making folders, and importing songs one level PREVIOUS on that drive:
TUNES: iTunes
Weird. But not the biggest deal in the world.
So today I noticed that my StartUp HD was gaining weight, and after some investigation I realized iTunes has "secretly" switched my library location again!
MacintoshHD/Users/MacPro/Music/iTunes/iTunesMusic
And, the weird thing is, ALL my songs play! They're all distributed in these 3 locations, and I had ZERO grey "!"s.
Why is iTunes doing this!?
And since iTunes doesn't like the library being moved around very much, I'm reluctant to change anything.
GRrrrrrrr...
Any ideas?

I'm on here too looking for a solution to this problem, as after months of sourcing my library from it's new location on an external hard drive, my itunes now looks in the default location.
One thing that might have happened is that on one occasion, you may have accessed itunes whilst your external drive was off. If this has happened, then itunes will automatically revert to the default library location.
If this hasn't happened, try the following link:

How do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media. i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

how do i stop my itunes from changing the location of my itunes media. i have it saved on a external HD and it keeps changing back to my local drive with out being told

No, an external drive will not always be mounted. If the drive goes to sleep, it can unmount, or it may unmount for other reasons. As Chris said, confim that the drive is mounted and active before launching iTunes.

Windows 7 / Arch Linux Dual-Boot - win7 keeps changing the boot flag!

Greetings!
Its been a long while since I had to dual-boot with windows on the same machine.
I 've installed windows 7 and then arch linux and installed GRUB on my sda1 where the /boot partitions is located at.
I've managed to boot into arch successfully and later into windows also successfully.... but when i tried to boot into arch again I wasn't greeted with the typical GRUB boot screen... grub was ignored completely and win7 booting began as if it was the only OS in my hard drive.
I've used the gparted live cd and realized that the boot flag has changed from my /boot partition (sda1) to my windows partition (sda2). I've changed it back and I was able to boot into arch again. but when I rebooted to win7 and then to arch the same thing has happened. The boot flag keeps changing whenever im rebooting into windows making impossible for me to boot with GRUB unles I manually change the flag again.
I haven't installed GRUB into the MBR because I hear it is a bad practice when you have a windows OS also installed (something with service packs not being able to install, among other things). I also don't want to use the easyBCD method to boot arch using the win7 loader.
here is the partition scheme on my 500gb sata drive :
/dev/sda1 /boot 250mb (primary)
/dev/sda2 windows 7 ntfs 100gb (primary)
/dev/sda3 swap 4gb (primary)
/dev/sda5 / 16gb (logical)
/dev/sda6 /var 8gb (logical)
/dev/sda7 /home the rest of the hd space (logical)
What am I doing wrong and how do i prevent the boot flag from changing?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

1. don't necrobump

[8.1 pro update1] Windows KEEPS changing and reinstalling keyboard layouts regardsless of IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout

Windows 8.1 is driving me nuts beyond believe once again. I have 8.1 Pro update 1 English, installed from the VLK iso from our Volume License / SPLA account. As we are a Dutch company, the Location is set to The Netherlands, as well as the date/time format.
Therefore in my keyboard settings the language is Dutch (NL) but I set my keyboard layout to US, as below:
As you can see there are no other languages our installed. This worked for years with Windows 7 and before with XP. Windows 8.1 however KEEPS changing my keyboard layout to plain Dutch making my keyboard unusable. The language bar in the systemtray, or whatever
it's called in this OS, shows THREE layouts, which are actually 'selectable' and work as if they were installed. However, they are not 'really' installed, as per the screenshots above.
This is driving me completely mad. Why on earth is Windows making descisions for me which I should be making myself? In addition, in my oppinion Windows should NEVER change somthing as trivial as a keyboard layout by itself. People don't change switch keyboard
even when logging on to a remote system that has a different layout configured. Whoever came up with this 'automatic switching per application' idea once again had no clue of real-life usage at all.
I've added those two languages I do NOT want to my keyboard layouts and removed them. Sure they are gone then, and as only language NLD with layout US is left, the language bar in systray is gone as well. After a few days all three are back, and my keyboard
is producing wrong characters again.
I've tried with regvalue HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout\IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout set to 1, to no avail at all. It just keeps changing. This should help to prevent my keyboard when changing when I RDP to one of my servers.
The advanced settings in Language don't help either:
'let me set a different input language for each app window' is unticked.
Override for default keyboard is now set to Dutch - US, like I want it. Doesn't help either.
I cannot reproduce it on demand, settings do NOT change when connecting to my RDP server(s). They do NOT change when I open any of my used programs, being IE, Chrome, CMD.exe, notepad and a few others. It shouldn't either as I disabled the 'keep settings
per application'.
I have changed the keyboard shortcut from alt-shift or whatever it was to 'none'.
How to prevent Windows 8.1 completely from changing the keyboard layout I use? Is there any way to check WHY or WHAT actually changes my keyboard?

This might be really late to this post but I've been having this issue while playing games, particularly those which are complex enough to require Control, Alt, Shift. At first like some people here suggested
Windows Key + Space was the cause, but even after removing all alternate layouts (for reference, I want the UK layout, but it was switching to the US Layout) it was persisting.
This post pointed me in the right direction, go into your Language Options
> Change Override (Advanced). At this stage I've noticed there is the Switching input methods section, look for
Change language bar hot keys and here I fount Alt + Shift
was being used for switching Between input languages - a key combo I'd probably hit quite often just purely by accident. You can change the key sequence to no binds.
I haven't fully tested it, but it appears to be working for now - and I hope its an extra option for people to look at if they're running into this issue.

Date and time on my iPhone keeps changing to GMT or Cupertino time

Hi,
Somehow my date and time settings keeps changing to GMT/Cupertino despite setting it to Mumbai (India). Because of this all my alarms and calendar events have gone for a toss. I have changed the time to Mumbai multiple times, but it keeps switching back without event touching the phone. I even upgraded to 2.0.2 but the problem persists. Any idea what else can I do to get this working.
Thanks,
Avinash

I picked this up from another thread (I tried 2.0.1 and 2.02 upgrades too with no success). The following worked, though:
- Plug your iPhone into you Macbook / PC and allow iTunes to do a full backup (I had to right click the iphone icon and select backup).
- Right click your iPhone under DEVICES in iTunes and click on Restore. Choose the back up you have just made
- From within your iPhone, tap the Settings icon, choose General and then Date & Time. Choose Time Zone and change the time zone to your desired city.
- To test the change has worked, tap the Date & Time back arrow at the top left and then click on the home button. Finally, go back to the Time Zone option within Settings and the time zone should have stayed as the one you chose.
Note: Is your iPhone 3G’s GPS facility taking ages to pinpoint your location? The above changes will fix this problem as well

Multicast IP address keep changing on music on hold

Hi
I am trying to set up multicast for music on hold on the cucm 9.
on the cucm, I enable multicast audio sources on MOH server, using base IP 239.1.1.1, and set increment multicast on " ip address"
however the multicast IP address keep changing, sometimes its 239.1.1.1, then after a while it suddenly change to 239.1.1.2 etc..
here is the config on our srst router ( which specify the multicast ip is 239.1.1.1):
is there any way that the multicast ip do not keep changing as its affecting the MOH at the moment.

Hi Rachel,
If the Increment Multicast on radio button is set to IP address, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to different IP addresses but uses the same port number. If it is set to Port Number, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to the same IP address but uses different destination port numbers.

LAN IP keeps changing on my wireless internet camera using Linksys E1200 router

Although it was working fine for about a month the LAN IP for my wireless internet camera now keeps changing almost on a daily basis for no apparent reason. I am currently away from home and am unable to access the camera for live coverage until I determine and reset the IP. Fortunately the camera is working and still sending emails on motion detection which includes a note with the IP which I then can use remotely access my local computer and then to the camera for live coverage but this is a time consuming method. To be able to get access from my current location I then have to remotely log on to my home E1200 router and change the address in the port forwarding section of the routers setup program in order to use the new IP directly.
I know I could have avoided this problem by seting up the camera with a static IP but for some reason I had a problem doing so and due to time limitation I ended up accepting the dynamic IP assignment.
What could be causing the change and more importantly is there anything I can do to the router setup to minimize the problem?

There hasn't been a power failure at my house in over 3 weeks at least none that my UPS system has sensed but there have been many camera IP changes during that perioid . Perhaps there has been some local power interuption to the camera or the router. I wonder if a local power sag or surge might be sufficient for the camera to restart. I guess further investigation will have to wait til I return and regardless of what I find I'll switch to a static IP for the futrue.

TS3092 My Apple bluetooth wireless keyboard caps lock keeps changing so that sometimes the caps are on when the lights on and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. How do I control this?

My caps lock keeps changing. That is, sometimes the caps are locked and the light is on the key and sometimes the caps are on when the light is off. It changes without my knowing it. Also when I hold the shift key down I hear a double click noise which changes the keys in some way. How do I get it to not change?

Try resetting SMC and NVRAP and then reboot.

http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Try booting the Recovery Partition. Power off, boot and then hold down the Command and R keys. Is the screen still black? If so it is not a software problem so take it in for diagnosis and repairs. Make a Genius Bar reservation http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/ or find an Apple Authorized Service Provider https://locate.apple.com/country .
If you are running Mavericks try upgrading to 10.9.2. It has a fix for black screen problems.

IOS7 Reminders app keeps changing color

With the updated version of the Reminders app in iOS7, users now have the ability to set a color scheme for each list they have created. However, the color of my default list keeps changing back to orange every time I either add a new task or mark a task as completed. Regardless of how often I manually change the color option back to any other color (I'd prefer red for my default list), that particular list always reverts back to orange anytime the list is modified. Although its not huge issue, its becoming increasingly frustrating that I cannot set the color of the Reminders list that I use all of the time.
Anyone else experiencing this issue and are there any solutions?
Thanks!

Hello SofaKeenGrad,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the Reminders app will not keep the color you select for some reason.
I have a few recommendations for you here:
First I would start by closing all the running apps on the phone:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
When you have done that, next I would restart your iPhone.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists after that, I would try backing up your phone to iTunes, then restore your phone.
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Before you restore your phone from your backup, try setting it up as new, and verify the Reminders app works as expected. Then restore from your backup, and test the issue again.
All the best,
Sterling

Transform keeps changing in paintComponent

I have JComponent - in my paintComponent code I want to calculate the bounds of some of the objects I'm painting so I do the following
AffineTransform currentTransform = g2.getTransform();
Point p1 = new Point(clipX, clipY);
currentTransform.transform(p1, m_imageLocation);
Point p2 = new Point(clipX + clipWidth, clipY + clipHeight);
Point p3 = new Point();
currentTransform.transform(p2, p3);
m_imageSize = new Dimension(
    Math.abs(p3.x - m_imageLocation.x),
    Math.abs(p3.y - m_imageLocation.y));which gives me the location and size (in device space) of the image I've just drawn so I can later do hit detection on it. The problem is, the location is often, but not always wrong. To investigate what was going on I put the following at the beginning of my paintComponent method
AffineTransform outerTransform = g2.getTransform();
System.out.println("outerTransform\t" + outerTransform);
System.out.println("location\t" + getLocation());When running the code I get the following results
outerTransform     AffineTransform[[1.0, 0.0, 15.0], [0.0, 1.0, 46.0]]
location     java.awt.Point[x=14,y=22]
outerTransform     AffineTransform[[1.0, 0.0, 14.0], [0.0, 1.0, 22.0]]
location     java.awt.Point[x=14,y=22]
outerTransform     AffineTransform[[1.0, 0.0, 0.0], [0.0, 1.0, 0.0]]
location     java.awt.Point[x=14,y=22]
outerTransform     AffineTransform[[1.0, 0.0, 15.0], [0.0, 1.0, 46.0]]
location     java.awt.Point[x=14,y=22]
outerTransform     AffineTransform[[1.0, 0.0, 15.0], [0.0, 1.0, 46.0]]
location     java.awt.Point[x=14,y=22]The two things I can't figure out are:
1. why the origin of the transform keeps changing even though the location of my JComponent does not change?
2. Why my images are always drawn in the correct place even though the transform keeps changing?
Any insight into the mysteries of the paint manager would be greatly appreciated. The end result is I can't rely on the bounding box calculation in my paintComponent method.

currentTransform.transform(p1, m_imageLocation);simply transforms the point p1 according to the currentTransform and stores the value in m_imageLocation. This shouldn't affect the transform itself.
