Is my friends comp wierd, or does JOptionPane do strange stuff?

Hi,
This is hard to ask because I have not seen exactly what is happening, but I have a small program that displays some JOptionPanes, It all looks right on my comp WinXP... but on my friends comp (Win98), he says that the 'Dialogs Things' do strange stuff...
He doesnt know much about computers so I got a silly description bout what happens... he said that the 'dialogs' were "poping up and around tha screen in weird places,... and sometimes they were hard to get to them..."
Anyone know what this could be?...
Thanks,

Go to your freinds place and ask him to show you the strange behaviour, or ask him to explainm a little better. Your description of the problem is too vague.

    Hello there, Fernandox26.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting isues with unexpected power issues with your iOS device:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

    They hacked it and may have caused damage to your device. Jailbreaking also voids your warranty and support from Apple. To restore to a clean state, restore in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Mirror server missing file.... does anyone check this stuff?

    I just came across a problem with a repo mirror....
    pacman -Syu
    :: Synchronizing package databases...
    core is up to date
    extra is up to date
    community is up to date
    :: Starting full system upgrade...
    resolving dependencies...
    error: cannot resolve "libjpeg>=7", a dependency of "ffmpegthumbnailer"
    error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
    :: ffmpegthumbnailer: requires libjpeg>=7
    Seemed odd to me as libjpeg was updated to 7 several days ago.
    pacman -Q libjpeg
    libjpeg 6b-6
    ???? So extra is up to date but I still have an old libjpeg.
    I live in Thailand and decided to use the Australian mirrors. I checked on the first server in my mirrorlist,
    Server = ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/i686, and saw that libjpeg is absent from Extra. Not even an old version, just totally missing!
    Ok, the solution is simple.... use another mirror.
    But clearly this is a pain is the a$$. How can one know which servers are reliable and up to date?
    Does anyone check this stuff? Perhaps a script could be run that checks the contents of the mirrors against the main server, and posts the results on the Arch website where users can check?
    Cheers, Renners

  • Does JOptionPane have a bug in jdk1.4?

    Sorry to post this again, but last time had posted it under a different title/topic. The following piece of code works fine with jdk1.3, but HANGS with jdk1.4-import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class TestDriver extends JPanel {
       JTextField textField1, textField2;
       MyInputVerifier inputVerifier;
       public TestDriver() {
          initPanel();
       private void initPanel() {
          textField1 = new JTextField(10);
          textField1.setName("Test");
          textField2 = new JTextField(10);
          this.add(textField1);
          this.add(textField2);
          inputVerifier = new MyInputVerifier();
          textField1.setInputVerifier(inputVerifier);
       public static void main(String[] args) {
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.getContentPane().add(new TestDriver());
          frame.setSize(200, 100);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
             public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
                System.exit(0);
       class MyInputVerifier extends InputVerifier {
          public boolean verify(JComponent comp) {
             //only when the user enters "Test" in the first text field, should the focus be
             //transferred to the next text field
             if(comp.getName().equals("Test")) {
                String text = ((JTextField)comp).getText();
                if(("Test").equals(text)) {
                   return true;
                } else {
                   showError();
                   return false;
             return true;
       private void showError() {
          //this works fine with both jdk1.3 and jdk1.4
          System.out.println("Wrong!\n Enter \"Test\"");
          //this is where the program hangs when run with jdk1.4
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Wrong!\n Enter \"Test\"");
    }Can anyone please confirm that it really doesn't work with jdk1.4? Also please let me know if anything is wrong with the program.
    I searched in the bug database and found that a few bugs on similar topics have already been reported. But I didn't find one (which is open) particularly on this topic. Is anyone aware of a bug on this topic already reported? If so, could you please post the appropriate link here.
    Thanks a lot.

    Thanks for the reply. The problem is not related to JOptionPane. It's related to verify method of InputVerifier. First of all, as per the jdk1.4 Javadocs, the verify method is not allowed to have side effects. So calling JOptionPane.showMessageDialog() from within verify is not a correct implementation. But the javadocs say that shouldYieldFocus of InputVerifier is allowed to have side effects. So basically the shouldYieldFocus method needs to be implemented and it should pou up a dialog when the input is incorrect.
    BUT, it doesn't work either. It has a bug (4532517). Here is the link to the related bug report-http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/bugParade/bugs/4532517.html
    A workaround has been given there and after using that, the program works fine.
    I have no idea, why it works fine with 1.3. As you said, due to changes in the Focus mechanism in jdk1.4, this problem has arisen.
    Thanks.

  • Why does my ipad do stuff by itself without me touching it?

    My ipad is like having 'seizures', only when i plug in the charger which is weird because i've never had any problems with the charger. And its the same charger that came with the ipad.

    If this only occurs on your charger, try and borrow another charger to see if that eliminates the problem.  If it does not, or you cannot borrow another charger take the iPad and charger to an Apple store genius bar for testing.  A charger that is failing in that way can cause damage to the system and needs to be checked by the techs.
