ITunes thinks I'm running Mac OS X when I'm running Windows XP
I just bought and iPod and installed iTunes 7.1.1.5. All went well. Then, in what seems to be a disasterous mistake, I accidentally clicked on something -- I have no idea WHAT -- and now it apparently thinks I'm running Mac OS X. At least there's a big Mac OS X tab at the top of all Apple windows, even www.apple.com. And the windows are all messed up, with lines not meeting, text being clipped, some text not even being shown, etc. Does anyone know how I can tell it that I'm running Windows XP? Or, if that's not the problem, does anyone know what it is?
Here is a screenshot of the main Apple web page as it appears in my browser (IE7):
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=1vWWQ0MvQScFraGeqt6ucfGTFXx
The other Apple pages look similar, except the iTunes page which looks even worse:
http://www.pixentral.com/show.php?picture=18kYrzOjGhJM4enxjEkos89N4eEb2D
All other web pages look OK. It's only Apple's pages that are screwed up. (They too were OK until I installed iTunes.)
By the way, thanks for the advice on how to include pictures in posts. It was much appreciated.

I run out of memory when trying to run a query
I need help with a query. I am trying to extract Total Qty Sold ( and eventually get this data by month), but when I would run the query asking for QTY I get "System Out Of Memory". I removed that party of the query asking for Qty and posted what I came up with below. Any Help is greatly appreciated.
SELECT T0.[ItemCode], T0.[ItemName], T1.[FirmName], T0.[CardCode], T0.[SuppCatNum], T2.[ItmsGrpNam], T0.[U_U_CMG_PROGRAM], T0.[U_U_CMG_CATEG], T0.[U_CMG_STATUS], T0.[U_CMG_STORES], T0.[U_CMG_COLOR], T0.[U_CMG_LOCAT], T0.[MinLevel], T0.[MinOrdrQty]
FROM OITM T0 INNER JOIN OMRC T1 ON T0.FirmCode = T1.FirmCode INNER JOIN OITB T2 ON T0.ItmsGrpCod = T2.ItmsGrpCodHi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
Try this fist:
SELECT T0.ItemCode, T0.ItemName, T1.FirmName, T0.CardCode, T0.SuppCatNum, T2.ItmsGrpNam, T0.MinLevel, T0.MinOrdrQty
FROM OITM T0
INNER JOIN OMRC T1 ON T0.FirmCode = T1.FirmCode
INNER JOIN OITB T2 ON T0.ItmsGrpCod = T2.ItmsGrpCod
WHERE T0.ItemCode Like '[%0\]%'

ITunes thinks I have a 4th Generation iPod when it really is a nano
Hey, so I downloaded itunes 7.0.1 and the plugged in my iPod Nano (1st generation). Then it says: "Some of the items in the iTunes library were not copied to the iPod "My iPod" because your iPod software is too old. Go to Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Update to get the latest iPod software update". So I went to the summary tab and first off I notice that the picture of what my iPod is looks a whole lot more like a 4th generation iPod than a iPod nano (it used to show a iPod Nano). Can any help me with why my iTunes is acting up?

Long question, I know :~) There are web sites that I may visit that will not allow me to exit the site, so I use Alt-Ctrl-Del in Windows to start the Task Manager and force the site to close by ending the program. The new version of Firefox (31.0) thinks that Firefox crashed and send me right back to the source of my problem.
Your documentation for this process is as follows:
After a crash
Due to unexpected issues such as problems with a website, software errors, or an accidental loss of power, Firefox may unexpectedly close. In these situations, Firefox can restore the pages that you were visiting when it is restarted. Firefox will automatically restore your previous session, the first time you launch it after a crash.
If Firefox crashes a second time, the Restore Session (i.e. "Well, this is embarrassing") page will appear when you next launch Firefox.
...and this is what I found trying to stop this process. Next, when I am forced to use Task Manager to close Firefox a second time to stop a badware site, then the 'Well this is embarrassing' dialog appears and I am finally safely away from the URL.
I do not want Firefox automatically sending me back to a problem site.
Thank you for any procedure you can suggest to stop Firefox from restoring problem web pages, Art ClaptonI am unwilling to attempt navigation away from these sites. The pop-ups that occur on the attempt to leave a site or to close the browser are exit traps offering incentive to stay.
Once upon a time, when the internet was less dangerous, I would be willing to close the exit pop-ups. Now, after twice being infected with malware trying to close the pop-ups, I now force close whichever browser I am using.
Recently, I clicked on the red X to close one pop-up, and it installed a trojan that I had to pay to be removed. When I clicked on 'Leave' in another exit pop, it didn't exit and it turned out I was giving permission to run a script file. Now that criminals have learned these exit pop-ups can be used to force a click action, the sites using them have become dangerous.
If I force the browser to close using Task manager, Please tell me how to stop FireFox from sending me directly back to the same site because it mistakenly believes it crashed when it did not. I forced it to close because I was on a site that had taken control of my browser and was not allowing me to leave the site.
No other browser sends me back to the potentially dangerous sites. I prefer Firefox, but the new version must have a setting that allows me to get safely away from a problem site? -
Best way to access my mac G4 files when working on a windows pc laptop
Hi - I'm looking for ideas on the best way to access files stored on my G4 mac, when working on a pc laptop elsewhere in the house.
I'm not sure if this involves setting up a network, or whether I should be looking at ftp or even bluetooth.
Just to explain what I'm after: I'm writing a book, primarily on my g4 (running panther) in my study. But I spend a large proportion of my day running after my rampaging toddler. I'd like to make better use of my time by being able to grab my partner's laptop and write while my toddler is occupied for twenty minutes.
Messing around with a memory stick etc would just take too long as I'd have to remember to update the main file. It would get very messy!
I hope someone can help!
Thanks, Tina
Message was edited by: tinaMacBetween the networking question(s) to connect the two different platform
computers, using Sharing and other settings in each, the next question is
about the software used in the documents you are to be creating in one
and sending to the other.
Do you have a similar word processing software for the PC as in the Mac;
or something compatible in creating and using .RTF documents, etc. Or,
if you have a Windows version of AppleWorks, that would work. And the
TextEdit in your OS X can handle rich text format word processing; and
probably open basic text from a PC fairly easy. (And Word, etc, can.)
Issues in sharing, are such that you have to be careful when changing the
settings in your computers, that you don't accidentally share your computer
contents with other persons and computers in the vicinity. By wire would be
the most secure, since Ethernet can be used locally to share.
Internet and wireless may be a possibility, too; or using a local shared external
drives, if visible to both computers, depending on the network setup.
Do you have a USB hard disk drive set up on your wireless network, and
formatted in Fat32 so the Mac and PC can both see and use it? If so, you
may be able to send documents to there from the PC and use them in the
Mac. This may work, and depending on how the files were organized, not
too hard to keep up with the draft copies generated from the PC for use in
the Mac at a later time, and so on. This way, both computers would not
need to be on, to send & receive a file...
{For that matter, using a Google Account could be helpful;
to just email the writing to yourself, at any computer.}
Anyway, there are several possibilities, including those in the link to another
discussion on that topic per the above post.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Running out of memory when trying to run two VMs
Hi all,
I have created a VM (RHEL 5 with Oracle 11g) and cloned it in the same server pool. When i tried to start up the clone, I received the following error:
Start - /OVS/running_pool/13_OVM_10g_1
PowerOn Failed : Result - failed:errcode=20000, errmsg=No enough memory to run vm(/OVS/running_pool/13_OVM_10g_1), required memory=2048.
StackTrace:

Is there a way to configure more memory for additional VMs?
Thanks.I thought is was not enough physical memory. The server has 4GB of RAM and the BIOS can see it.

Hi I bought a new imac for Christmas, set it all up and installed all updates including maverick os. At first the imac ran very slow so I left it to sort any updates out but keep getting an error message when I boot up, say unexpected restart etc.
Also the activity monitor shows the CPU is constantly at around 78% with nothing being open or used.
Is this normal ?
To be honest I'm not impressed at how sluggish the mac is.
Shaunhi john,
apple care advised to take to a local store to be checked. when i arrived at the apple store i explained that the fans were on full belt and the cpu load and they just gave me a new one :-)

After closing a window with sidebar bookmarks open and later returning to firefox I have to open a new window and re-add my sidebar bookmarks
Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3559/
Hopefully this will help. -
How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?
I have several hundred "missing" files in my iTunes library but they are all actually on the computer. But I don't remember where the were previously. I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before. I don't just want to reimport the files because I have several hundred playlists with these files and it would be completely stupid to edit them all one at a time when all I need to do is to move them back to where iTunes thinks they should be. So where is that? The Windows media player has a column that displays file location. Why doesn't iTunes? (This is so stupid. It makes things -not just this- so much easier when you have the file location in the music list in your music player.)
Is there a way to find out where iTunes thinks the missing files should be at?Chris CA wrote:
How do I find out where iTunes thinks missing files are?
The exclamation mark means ITunes doesn't think they are anywhere.
If you right click - get info on a song then view the Info tab, you will see where iTunes last used it from.
I'm not a newbie. I know quite a lot about iTunes. You sound like you don't though because if you did you would know that this is not true. If you "right click - get info on a song" (pressing cancel to the Locate popup) "then view the SUMMARY (not info) tab" you will see "Not Available" where the file location usually is. I wouldn't have asked this question if I hadn't gone through the steps already.
Thanks for trying though. Next time, please try the advice before you give it.
I add dozens of songs at a time to my library all the time and there is no Earthly way for me to constantly remember where they were before
You should not have to remember anything about where they were.
I agree.
Are you always moving them around?
When I install a new hard drive. Yes. I generally keep everything organized and I let iTunes keep the folder organized but several years ago I used windows media player to organize my media.
Frankly I don't know HOW the recent songs/videos/etc. go missing. But some do. Maybe I accidentally move a folder without realizing it. Mistakes happen. Then I need to move it back but since I didn't know I did it in the first place I can't possibly be expected to remember where I moved it from.
Do you have iTunes prefs -> Advanced Keep ITunes music folder organized ticked and Copy files to iTunes ... ticked?
*OF COURSE!* Again, I'm not a newbie.
I have several hundred playlists with these files
Why would you have several hundred playlists?
I don't mean to sound rude but you sound like an Apple fanboy. Are you trying to tell me how I should use my own program? The answer to the question is I am a salsa instructor/DJ and I am constantly adding songs and videos to my library. Every month I have various salsa events, classes and performances that I do. I use my iPhone for the music. I need to maintain the playlists because students/teachers/studios/clubs/bars/churches/etc. call me back and want a repeat of the great salsa night I gave them a year ago. Naturally my playlists are highly organized into folders. So, I still have them and I need them.
Apple has its own ideas about how people should use its stuff but everyone is unique and our needs therefore are unique too. Apple doesn't realize this and still wants us to do things "the Apple way" even though "the Apple way" only works well for people who want their hand held through everything. This is why I say you sound like a fanboy. You don't know my situation and question if I need hundreds of playlists. I do.
I just need an answer to the question.
Thank you for your reply though. It gave me hope, for a time. -
ITunes thinks I need too much space
Itunes 8.3 + OS3.0
For some reason, iTunes thinks I need 21GB for my songs when I try to sync, but they only consume 6GB (reported by iTunes at the bottom of the screen). If I select the checkbox to only sync checked items, then the sync works correctly.
Can anybody suggest what might be wrong?Thanks, but the 'Other' is not shown on iTunes. I'm sure there used to be some.
But, like I say, I've selected all my songs and syncing selected items works. It's only if I choose to sync all (which I'm surely doing by selecting all) that I have a problem.
I have tried a restore too. -

If you do not know whether your iMac has a PowerPC or Intel processor, do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu. You will get this:
If the line by my second highlight arrow includes the word "PowerPC" as in the image, you can upgrade no higher. If it says, "intel," you can--as Niel indicates--update to at least 10.6.8 and possible higher. -
