Little things

Just about everytime I turn the volume up or down when nothing is playing, it makes this "Tap Tap" sound Then shows the volume, but it is at the last level, then about two seconds later it goes up to the next one, and if you keep doing that it keeps going "Tap Tap" and takes a couple of seconds at a time to go up one level. It also doesn't work to good with preferences, earlier it dimmed the screen before the screen went to sleep, and the box wasn't checked, and once, the background picture was changing when the box wasn't checked and then when i checked the box, it changed twice every 5 seconds. I think that it has something to do with apple and that they need to fix it in the next update that they make, because it was doing that ever since i got my computer back in august, its been through two updates.

Shut down and remove battery. There's a little keyboard locking screw next to the NUM LOCK key. You give it a 180 deg rotation in either direction, and it pulls in a tab that keeps the keyboard from lifting. The latest one may not go down all the way (at least mine doesn't) but you can get the keyboard out. There are little spring-loaded tabs next to esc and F12. Pull them in and lift the keyboard up. The RAM shield will require a high-quality #0 Phillips screwdriver to remove. I stress high quality because a poorly made one could damage the screw heads. The screws are "captive" and shouldn't come off the shield. Once you have that off, it's easy to drop in a new PC2700 SODIMM. Touch any metal part to more or less discharge static. Place the SODIMM in at a 30 degree angle and press in gently until it goes in all the way. Finally push down on the SODIMM until the two metal tabs lock into the notches on the module. Put everything back in place. This is one of the easier things to do, and nearly impossible to lose a part.
The pictures in the following are of an older model iBook G4 with an AirPort Extreme card. The new ones don't have that but are otherwise similar.

Little things missing in Snow

Hello All,
Sorry for putting a variety of topics into one message but they are too small to have their own threads.
1) Where is the keyboard batteries status report hiding?
2) I can change the language to Hungarian, but I can't find the layout of the Hungarian keyboard.
Where is it hiding?
3) I paired a keyboard with SnowLeopard and another with my old machine running Leopard.
Later I wanted exchanging them, but only Leopard accepted the other keyboard.
Any way to ask Snow to accept keyboards already paired to some other system?
4) Finder reports in three long columns when a lot more columns are available.
Also, if I pull-out an item a few millimetres, the icon does not spring back into its place.
How could I set it up to do the right things?
Thanks,
Mike-oz

In Bluetooth preferences
I can't find it there (perhaps the diNovo keyboard is something special)

I don't understand the question. In Column mode, just make the window wider to see more columns. > In list mode, select View > Show View Options and check the new columns you want.

I don't really understand this question either. When viewing as icons, they will stay where you put > > them unless you have auto-arrange or snap to grid turned on.
Thanks, I've found finder > show view options > snap to grid.
Regarding columns, I was not precise enough: I was thinking in icon mode.
I don't know how to ask Finder to show more than 3 columns of icons, to fill the
available space. 3 columns means a lot of scrolling, though all applications would fit on a page.

Make sure and remove it from the other machine. Then turn it off and back on to get into
"discovery" mode. Nothing bluetooth works properly the first time.
I'll try this tomorrow and come back report the result.
Thank you,

Little things missing in Z3

Hi, just bought Xperia Z3, updated to Lollipop 5.0.2, and it's awesome.
However moving from LG phones, I feel the Xperia is missing few "little things":
1. No option of "vibrate when call is answered"
This one is small but a very useful thisng, you don't have to hold the phone at your ear, when waiting for the other person to answer.
2. No multi-clipboard!
There should be option to pase at least last 5 copied texts. This is very usefull for example when managing emails.
3. Low volume of speakers!
OK, I know, that the phone is waterproof, but c'mon guys... have to have all volumes turned to max, to hear ringtone, youtube video sounds...
Is there any way to fix above?
Best regards, Jacek
BTW - My back panel glass cracked in half with no reason, while the phone was in my pocket... Is Sony using sugar-glass for phones? So delicate...

@JacekWarchol
Contact your local Xperia Care regarding your suggestions and the back cover
http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/contactUs/
The back cover nor the front glass will crack unless the phone was dropped, hit, or there were too much pressure on the phone, perhaps you have dropped the phone before and this created micro cracks and the only thing needed was more pressure to expand the cracks.

The little things #2

Basically I´m thrilled with this update, which I haven´t got yet.
Among others the elastic audio features -Yes, the term "elastic" is used in promo material-And from the video I´ve seen, it seems much more straigtforward than Pro Tools.
But the little things:
#1 The graphics department. Are you ever struggling to get a volume curve right? Zoom in, zoom in.
PT is much more accurate here. In other words, Logic can be very clumsy.
Not to mention the famous double spl´s and the "suddenly" diminished mixer window.
#2 Wouldn´t it be nice to open sample editor in place, so it corresponds to the position in arrange?
(#3 No, I know!: Selecting i.e 8 drum tracks to make a common fade out, No! (You can use the inspector, numerically))
#4 Does the new package include a decent de-esser?
#5 Got the Waves GTR3. Was that a waste of money, compared to the Amp Designer?
(well not exactly a little thing)
And more of course. Curious to hear your opinions.

It is up to the customer to choose the plan with the amount of data for their needs. If you want 2 GB of data, choose a plan which has 2 GB of data. Don't choose a plan lower in price without enough data for your needs. There are plenty of people for which 1 GB of data is plenty for a month of service.
You simply seem to be unhappy with Verizon's prices. Verizon will lower their prices if and when pressure from the market forces them to do so. Unfortunately for you, that will probably mean Verizon will STILL have a 1 GB plan AND a 2 GB plan with the 1 GB plan being lower in price than the 2 GB plan. I am sure you will then complain Verizon has "so little data on the $35 plan when most apps take so much to run" when the $45 plan could possibly have 2 GB of data just like you wanted.

Two little things driving me crazy...

It's the little things that get you...
I just hooked up an Airport Extreme for my laptop, replacing an older Airport which had issues. It's hooked to a DSL modem.
Mostly this is for the better, but two things are worse:
1) It doesn't automatically reconnect to my network when I reopen the lid any more. I have to choose my network each time.
2) For some reason, now I have a counter or timer in the menu bar, showing how long I've been connected to the Internet. Something I do NOT need to know every second as I work.
Of course, the way to solve 2 would be to remove the Airport signal strength doohickey from the menu bar, and with it the timer, except that I need it there since I have to reconnect every time I open the lid!
Anyone know how to 1) make it automatically reconnect every time it's opened, like it used to and 2) make the dang counter go away? Thanks in advance.

Michael,
1) Open System Preferences>Network>Airport and at "By default, join:" select "Preferred Networks" instead of "Automatic" - then select the name of your network and then click on "Apply Now" button at bottom of panel.
2) Open the Airport icon at the top of your screen, select the name of your network and de-select "Show Time Connected"

Goodbye BT - It's the little things

Its the little things that matter so much. Like not sending you your introductory voucher, sending you promises it will be in the post. Putting up prices arbitrarily. **bleep** you off the most. Charging if you don't pay direct debit and then helping yourself. Adding a couple of quid for paper billing and going e-mail without your consent. Telephone help in India where the people works-in-dark-in-early-hours-of-the-morning-very-helpful-to-tell-you-what-I-am-reading-off-the-scre...en. Raising the prices again. Giving you the opportunity to subscribe to special offer discount that isn't and tie you into a new contract for 24 months. Minefield of options when you call then hangs up after ad nauseam please-hold Smetana's Má vlast. Goodbye BT. I hope it is the last. FFFFFFFF-rown. Disconnect fee. Keeping paid in advance charges. Not our policy to give you a refund. Now you see the cockroaches in the contract. Pull the plug and leave you high and dry. Deny you pulled the plug and keep the billing going - that's Technical We're accounts. It shows you are still contact on our computer. We must be right. It is the little things.

Spot on JSTTESCONET !
The only thing I'd disagree with you about is these are Big things not Little things.
It must be so depressing working for BT and knowing that they have such an appalling reputation. My heart goes out to their employees who need a job but can't find another employer.

It's the little things that drive me crazy...

As I continue making the slow transition from Avid to FCP, little things that should be no-brainers continually trip me up. What can I do to keep my border intact and not lose it when I crop?
Secondly, why is it when I change the speed of a clip on the timeline does it stretch the clip out and push everything down (and vice-a-versa too)? I simply want to - in Avid terms - time warp it within the span of the timeline's clip.

Many have made the journey.
You have to leave your baggage at the door, FCP is a very different beast that will confound you to start with.
But you may learn to love many features and wonder why it is so hard on an Avid.
In any case,
the answer you are looking for lies in the order or computation in FCP.
Motion follows Filter.
So you need to work around this little order issue.
Crop the image or footage.
Then nest (under the Sequence menu),
Right click the nested clip in your timeline, select load in Viewer,
add your border.
Welcome to your first new way of thinking in FCP.
You'll find many more times you will wonder how people don't scream 10 times a day on FCP.
Then a years time you might use an Avid and ask "why can't I just import a 2000 pixel image and zoom with out it looking rubbish?"

I want to remove lots of little things from a picture, what should i do?

p

And what specifically. Sorry, this is way too generic. We don't know what your image looks like, what those "little things" actually are (Scratches? Dust? Scenery details? Skin impurities? etc.) nor what experience level you actually have with PS...

What other little things about the iPod I should know about?

Just a quick question,
What are some of the features of the iPod Touch that are not 100% obvious?
Example...
Yesterday I found out that you could pull up the music controls anywhere(even locked) by pressing the "home" button twice.
After finding the above by accident, I was thinking about if their was any other little hidden things to find.

Little things about your ibook.

I am off to college next year. so i am saving up for a laptop, right now it is a toss up between the highest config of ibook (14")and powerbook (17"). now i can afford the powerbook but it would mean getting a part tiem job during the year to save up the £1700 (student discount), i wouldnt mind getting a job its just that my grades might suffer... on the other hand i could easily afford n ibbok within one year with my pocket money. i dont know how to decide so i thought i would decide using the tiny features not mentioned in the description like tha apple logo lighting up, are there any other for either powerbook and ibook?
I guess what i am asking what are the (good, no trolls)little quirks of you ibook / powerbook, it is after all the tiny stuff and attention to detail that differentiates a quality product from a dell

Oops -- help with the little things

Somehow, my beginning post was submitted before I wrote it . . . sorry.
Anyway, I'm trying to move to iWork '08. I've played around with it a little, and found some things I can't figure out, even using the help menu extensively.
Is there any "drag and drop" ability? I can't find it . . .
I've been working with tables to put in some simple things, and I can't seem to highlight all the text in the table to assign it a style -- I have to manually drag the curser over the text in one cell at a time.
Is there any way to paste text and make any hyperlinks in it appear as regular text, without changing everything so that all hyperlinks come in as plain text?
Thanks!

2. You should be able to select the cells in the table and assign a style to it. Place your cursor at one of the cell (it should have a blue border around it), click on the cell and drag across the table to select multiple cells, and then click on the style that you intend to change. Alternatively, you may also click on the entire table (it should have the resize handles at all the sizes) and change the style.
I'm sorry if it wasn't clear -- I should have asked "can you use drag and drop on text?" I haven't tried what you did; I've started with text and can't get anything except a regular curser.
Thanks for the info on styles in tables -- I did get that to work.

Curve 8520, 2 little things I would like to know.

Hello everyone,
I have a Black Berry Curve 8520 and I would like to know 2 things.
First:
I would like to know how to add a contact from a text message, like I just gave my number to my mate and he sends me a text how can I add his number to my contacts from his text ?
Second:
When some one sends me a text or calls, it comes up with there number not there name that I put as they are in my contacts, how can I make it come up with there name instead of the number because I never remember numbers ?
Thanks in advance to those who help me.

I am now able to connect to the Internet on my laptop via my Blackberry's data plan using Verizon.
I'm somewhat lost with this question or the way it was worded which isn't hard for me most of the time.
You are able to connect with your laptop over the internet using your Blackberry to access files available on your laptop or are you referring to using the iPhone as an internet connection device for your laptop?

Little things keep breaking my pages.

I'm using a template from Muse Themes (Vignette).
When making minor updates, invariably I break the page. Let's compare.
Here is a page as it looks on my desktop:
Here is the same page published to BC:
Annnnnd here is how it looks on Bluehost.
Notes:
Multiple browsers used, with histories and caches cleared - Chrome, Safari, Fox.
Dark rectangle resized often so as to avoid "width=100%" trap. Also tried it at 100%. Obviously it should not be overlapping the text, nor should the text be reformatting to sidebar width.
Behavior repeats itself in ALL possible FTP scenarios: Upload to FTP host > Modified files only, Upload to FTP host > All files, and Export to HTML and then upload with Cyberduck (and Overwrite).
Waiting for server to recache yields nothing.
Have used with Dreamhost and Bluehost, with CloudFlare on and CloudFlare off.
Persistent resizing/moving of graphics is the ONLY thing that fixes the problem. The change is typically trivial, a few px one way or the other.
Today, however, NOTHING is helping the situation. (UPDATE: I was able to resize the rectangle vertically and this solved the problem. If you're thinking this element was smaller than overlapping elements, it wasn't. I always extend this element until it "bumps," or slightly moves, the footer element.)
This has gone on for months! I've scoured the Adobe forums countless times and tried countless fixes. And now my one ace-in-the-hole, tweaking graphics, is failing me.
My renewal for Muse Themes is coming up, and I must know if I can continue to use Muse or should cut bait and redo the site in WP.
Note to Adobe Support: I did send a zip file of my HTML this morning to muse-ts, from my address [email protected] Thanks.

Hello,
I'm Steve Harris from MuseThemes.com - thanks for notifying me of this problem through the MuseThemes support forum (http://support.musethemes.com).
This looks like a classic case of "overlapping elements" causing weird layout shifts on publish. I actually covered a similar issue in a blog post way back in October 2011 (link below, tip #3)
http://www.muse-themes.com/blogs/news/4232972-top-5-adobe-muse-design-tips-and-tricks
To summarize the blog post, what I would suggest is to try and group all of your elements in the Muse file. We took a close look at the code Muse is generating, and it appears that grouping elements (select elements > right click > group) will actually wrap them in a "div" tag, which acts as a container to hold content together. We've fixed countless situations like this by grouping together blocks of content (images & text) to keep them from shifting on export.
As a customer of MuseThemes.com, our support team would be happy to have a look at your Muse working file to find a fix. Feel free to send it our way in the MuseThemes support portal.
Cheers,
- Steve

My ipad (64g wifi 3g) just turned its self off and when i finally got it back on it was just on the apple start up screen with the little thing spinning beneath it. Can an anyone help!!!!!!!!!

if anyone has ether had this happen to them can u tell me and if you no how to fix it please tell

Recovery Mode is how to start all over again on your iPad like new. It erases everything, even the operating system, and reloads directly from Apple. Once that is done, if you have performed a backup of your iPad in the past, you will be able to restore all of your configuration settings and preferences after the reload occurs.
To prepare for a recovery mode restore, have the following ready:
- Your computer (plugged in to power) ready with iTunes up and running
- Your iPad synch cable plugged into your computer but NOT your iPad
- Make sure your iPad is at least at 20% battery, preferably higher
NOTE: Do NOT touch the iPad once recovery begins. Make sure your computer doesn't suspend, sleep, or shut down while the process is going on.
Steps:
- Sitting next to your computer, take your iPad (which should NOT be connected to your PC) and hold down the sleep button (on the top of the iPad) and the home button (front of the iPad) at the same time
- After about 10-15 seconds, the unit will power off (do not do anything when the "slide to power off" screen appears, just keep holding the buttons)
- When the iPad turns back on, you will see the silver Apple appear on the screen. Continue holding down the home button but release the sleep button and immediatly plug the iPad into your computer running iTunes
- You should see a symbol appear on the iPad with a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to the iTunes logo. iTunes will then say that it detected an iPad in recovery mode.
- Let iTunes restore the device. It will download a fresh copy of firmware, install it, and verify the SW.
NOTE: This may take a while. iTunes needs to download about 500MB from the Apple server, then it will start the loader on the iPad, and load the OS.
- After iTunes said that is successfully restored your device, you may get an error message saying the iPad isn't recognized and you're still at the screen with the USB cable and iTunes logo on the iPad. Don't sweat it. Unplug the iPad from the computer. Power off the iPad by holding the sleep button until you see the "slide to power off" - go ahead and slide to power off. Once it is shut down, push the sleep button again until it powers on.
- the iPad will come back to the familiar USB cable/iTunes logo. When it does, just plug it back into your computer and iTunes will activate the iPad.
- if you had previously backed up your iPad, iTunes will tell you there is a backup and ask if you would like it restored. If you wish to do this, accept the prompt. This will also take some time. Note it will NOT put your apps, music, movies, TV shows, etc back on your iPad, just your settings and preferences.
- once the restore is complete, iTunes should recognize your iPad and you can pick your synching options (apps, music, movies, etc, etc) and have a blast! The only thing I noticed it doesn't retain is the page layouts for your apps, so either screen capture them before you begin, or write it down.
I hope this helps

Little things annoy me

b Points
I don't like is this concept of "points". I really don't like the competitive energy of those points. I've been to non-business forums where people award each other "karma." It's stupid and can be petty when someone has more karma than others.
I have no idea who gives points to others, but I don't like them.
I wouldn't mind a record of when joined or how many posts, but I think that belongs in a profile, not next to the responses.
b Answering posts
Who marks a message as answered? As mentioned before, the OP could state the post is answered, but others could find a problem.
Will there be a way for the Forum Moderator to amend an answered post as "With Note"?
b Sorting the messages
Will there be a way to sort according to the OP? If not, it seems a waste of a column.
I'm sure I will have other issues that I'll add later.

@PjonesCET I totally agree with your assessment of the "answered" switch. It's the end user whom decides which post or the first post that answered his/her question FOR THEM.
That's the entire point so new users whom possibly have never been to the forum prior to having a problem; can tell whom/which posters generally tend to be the most helpful to end users.
It only seems to be the long time users here whom are up in arms about this entire affair. I'm not surprised. I am surprised at some of these people being so Luddite in their views ! It just seems that people are being very petty.
For the record I like everything about the new forums; I like the fact that a post can be marked answered by the individual it matters the most to; and the fact that frequent posters will be held accountable (in a small way) for the quality of the answers given. OF course it won't abolish the entire threads taken over by the regs joshing back and forth with each other, but every little bit helps.
Is it perfect ? Probably not. Will it be ? Of course not. Is it an improvement ? Absolutely ! Anything is an improvement over the early 90's technology and design the old forum had.
I hope Adobe is aware that the silent majority is most likely behind the change. It's just the vocal minority here spouting off.
Apologies if I offended anyone -- But that's the way I see it, and I've been on these forums for quite some time (maybe not always an active poster, but always lurking (gawd I hate that word).
