ISkin keyboard cover?? Heat problem?? Has it worked for you?

The letters on the keys keep wearing off on my iBook. apple has sent me several replacements, but it doesn't take more than a few weeks and various keys start disappearing!
Several people have recommended the iSkin. While I think Apple should pay for this (or better--fix the keycap lettering problem itself), I have also heard about potential problems with the iSkin. (Some have said that the iBook dissipates heat through the keyboard and the skin prevents that, thus raising the internal temp. Others have said that it leaves marks on the screen.)
I'm interested in learning if anyone's had problems with the iSkin and if it is a viable solution.

I've decided to keep pestering Apple for new keyboards-- ecologically a disaster, I know.
OTOH, the latest keyboard they send me has very different action and even the keycap lettering seems a bit different. Argh! I held off installing for months and months figuring it would be the same old, same old. As a result, I was typing on a keyboard where 1/4 of the letters had been worn off.
Then I remembered my iBook's under AppleCare.

8.2 Experience? Has it Worked for you? Fixed the lot?

Just wondering how it is with the 8.2 update?
Has it fixed the main issues, sluggishness, Memory Leaking? Masses Hard Drive Paging?
Slow Multi Camera mode, yeah I think that my be fixed.
At moment I am holding back from updating for 8.1 Caravan.
I have read the posts recently on people having probs with it bombing out on start up with the custom effects and transitions.
At moment I am still slowly moving along, albiet slowlty, as previously posted sluggishness comes and goes, but is most worst when nesting MultiCam Sequences into other Sequences, as I say in a previous posting it slows down the more complicated the MC Edit goes.
Anyway, I am very tempted to update, but besides not seeing any update in the CC APP for PP CC, other than adding RAW Support for CS6, then I am thinking to hang on and see what comes, current project is using lots of custom saved effects and transitions, mostly sharpen filters and 3 Way Col Correctors.
Has 8.2 been pulled by any chance?
Not seeing alot of posts on it so I am guessing that for most it is a good build or either that been pulled?
How serious is the crash at start up and does it mean you loose all you custom presets effects?

I didn't notice a lot of diferrenceses, excetp of course from the storage place that it become bigger!!
Where can I learn more about this update(what was update it in my phone???)??

Iskin keyboard cover

is it advisable to use an iskin keyboard cover? will it heat up my macbook or cause ventilation problems?
am using both a speck clear case for my macbook plus an iskin keyboard protector.

I use an iSkin cover, and since I have moderately hairy hands/knuckles, it definitely does the trick - nothing gets through! Its also helps reduce germs because you can wash it with soapy water every once in a while. I haven't had any ventilation problems using it, since it doesn't cover the rear vents.

Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when you launch Acrobat 9

Hi,
I'm part of service desk and my company has several thousand users of Acrobat. There has been strange issues reported since upgrading from 7.0.5 to 9.1 and a lot of them are uhappy. The latest issue is users started to receive the following error,
Error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" when you launch Acrobat 9 or Adobe Creative Suite 4 products. The link http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/405/kb405970.html#ErrorCodes has solution, but i tried everything given for 147-178, and nothing works. The users are highly frustrated. Any other possibilities? one collegue claims running simple reg cleaner could solve this issue.

Wow,
I went through a "font crisis" on my MacBook about two weeks ago, and I reinstalled Snow Leopard, then restored everything from Time Machine backup. Everything but Office 2008 and CS4 was able to run from the restore, because there were preferences for both that wouldn't copy back to my Library (permissions).
I reinstalled both from the "original media" (dmg's) with my Time Machine and 2 other external HDs connected and mounted. I had no problems with either. In fact since I was re-installing from dmg's stored on my Time Machine drive, I had to have it connected to do this. Installing Office and CS4 from the dmg's took all of twenty minutes for both with no errors at all.
I'm glad you got everything taken care of, but anectdotal evidence tells me CS4 can be reinstalled with external drives connected and mounted.

A possible solution to FCP X memory problems - it is working for me so far

I think I may have found a way to prevent FCP from gobbling up all available memory (and bring my mac to its knees).
The idea came to me from a post by Tony Reidsma in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3770230?start=0&tstart=0
He pointed to this page regarding memory usage in FCP X and Motion: http://bradbell.tv/filmmaking/improving-ram-performance-in-final-cut-pro-x/
The above page,mentions a preference setting that exists in Motion but "not in FCP X" - the setting for a "cache percentage".
This is supposed to determine how much of the available memory Motion should retain for caching content (or so I gather).
Sure enough, this preference is not there visibly in FCP X, but since FCP X and Motion share a common foundation, I thought it might be there anyway.
So after looking into the plist files in XCode, I found the name of this preference setting and used the defaults command in Terminal.
I have been throwing everything at it for a day now and it seems to be working well, so I thought I'd share.
Here is the relevant defaults command (NOTE: use this in Terminal when FCP X is NOT running):
defaults write com.apple.FinalCut OZPreferenceManager::CachePercentage -int 20
(this seems leave free about 20% of the ram available when FCP X starts; I have experimented with different values, and apparently the higher the number, the more free memory is untouched)
I have 15 applications running in MacBook Pro (with 8GB Ram), for hours, and no memory problems (and no need to "purge"). And FCP X and all other applications have not shown any of the slowdowns typical of low memory situations.
NOTE: While I have not experienced any negative effects, I have no internal knowledge of the software and no guarantee that this is effective or harmless.
One can revert the above setting by typing (or pasting) the following in Terminal (again, with FCP X NOT running):
defaults delete com.apple.FinalCut OZPreferenceManager::CachePercentage
If any of you try this and it does or does not work for you, I'd appreciate if you post your results back here.

Hey Luis, and everyone else.
I just tried your terminal script, and it has completely cured the sluggish problem with FCPX. Thank you, thank you , thank you!!.
I am working in a pretty large project, and now is flowing like a champ. Even skimmin is on point.
The project is 60 GB in size and I didnt create optimized media or used Proxy, so is working out of the RAW data, and boy must I say is flowing.
Again thank you dude.
PS: to you all out there, if you jump in a large project, I found that by making compund clip over compound clip helps the speed of the whole project. Example: I am braking down scenes in to compound clips, and portions of the scenes in to more compund clips, that has created a fast flow to go in an out of.

I downloaded the pokemon yellow version app for my ipod touch more than a month ago and it is still not working. It has not worked for anybody who bought it. How can I get my money back?

That message is usually due to a bad cable.

For those of you with a Windows computer and the iOS device is not syncing or showing up in iTunes. here is a known solution that has been working for tech support!

I know this seems to be an emerging issue ever since the update to iTunes 11.1.4, some iPhones or other iOS devices are not showing up in iTunes or syncing. I'm not sure if Apple really knowns of this issue, but tech support has a (mostly) sure fire way of resolcing this issue. It's only for Windows computers though.
Go to the article http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1538 and follow the Section 5 Verify Apple Mobile Device USB driver is installed. When you clik on that section, go to your version of Windows (it seems to be happening mostly across Windows 8) . And then to the section: If Apple iPod, Aple iPhone, or Apple iPad is listed.
The gist of what you need to do:
Windows 8 (since it seems to be the most affected) move your cursor to the upper ight corner of your screen) and click on the Magnifying glass. Type in devmgmt.msc and this should bring up the Device Manager. Onc eyou are in the device manager, look for the "Portable device" or "Universial Serial bus Controller" list, and you should see the "Apple iPhone/iPad/iPod" listed. Onc eyou see it, right click it, choose "Update software driver." Now, IT WILL SAY THE DRIVER IS UPDATED. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. Select "Browse my computer for driver software." Onc eyou choose that, select "Let me pick from a lsit of drivers on my computer." You should see the option "Have Disk." Choose that. Again, I KNOW you do not have a physical disk, but the file we need is already on your computer. After Hard Disk, choose Browse again. Follow this file path to the file we need: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.. In the Driver's folder, you should see the "usbaaple" or "usbappl64" (if you have the 64 bit for Windows). Double click on that file, and hit OK. The file should install, and once it's finished check your iTunes!!! You may want to unplug your device and plug it back it before doing all of this. I REALLY hope this works for you all as well!

How can I change my file extension from m4p to something else? I have had no success being able to play or burn my purchased music. I keep getting error 2122. If I can change the format I should be able to move it to another player or at least burn it in Nero. Thanks.

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and slide the scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. I have not changed any settings

While playing music on my iphone 5, i am now unable to play, pause, or skip songs while my phone is locked. I can still change the volume and scrub through songs. This has always worked for me until now. As far as i know, i have not changed any settings. This is whle my phone is locked both on the slide up toolbar/menu interface and on the normal screen before i slide to unlock.

I skimmed through this very long post but from what I read, this sounds much more like a coverage issue with your network than a device issue. I have not seen or heard of this issue before and I do not have this issue personnally and & I use the music app quite frequently while working in the yard.
The DND feature should not be a factor at all if you're sure it's turned off. I always recommend restarting your phone by holding down the home button + the lock button for 10-12 seconds until the Apple logo appears. Once the phone reboots, do a test to see if this has helped to resolve the issue.
If not, go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Then, test it out again. Post back if neither of these solutions solve your issue.

Hi,
It appears that the developer has released a newer version of Hotmail Watcher. Version 2.13 located at https://sites.google.com/site/sonthakit/hotmailwatcher. You should try updating it to see if it works then.

I solve my problem of black screen when starting up my Mac pro, namely by the button lighting and then i saw the login screen. Hopefully it works for you too.

hi Andaleeb sorry to hijack Stephanie's thread!
I don't get any crash reports, it starts to open then just stops, nothing happens. ive tried getting in through the organiser but that doesn't work either.
I think my laptop is Windows 8 (its a fairly new laptop, does that sound about right?)
it was working Saturday I'm quite new to using it so no real workflow, just playing around with effects. ive only had it about a month
Thanks

My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
Any ideas anyone?

You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.
