Logic is acting strange,now...

I reinstalled OSX 4.2 and I upgraded the memory, now Logic won't fully start and will not shut down. The motu firewire software is also not shuting down. I selected force quit and nothing happens. Am I going cookoo? What have I overlooked?
After each install, I repair permissions... (I don't know what's gone wrong.)

IMac acting strange now won't start only 3 months old

This has just happened. Whilst doing some encoding a message suddenly appeared saying I had to restart. Everything had sort of froze. So I restart and get to the apple logo but then a grey screen comes down saying restart again and big lines of code appear.
Straight away booked in for genius appointment but that's not till wednesday. Anyone know what's happened?it's a 24" iMac. 4 g ram. Only 4 months old.
Before this I've noticed other little things like apps not responding and the famous beachball. Not to good for a £1200 mac!!!

Anyone know what's happened?
There would be no way anyone here would know.
Not to good for a £1200 mac!!!
Technology is far from perfect. Then take it in for warranty repair.

Iphone 4 and iphoto upgraded to latest - now acting strange

i just updated my iphone 4 and the latest iphoto software - and now it's acting strange:
when i've taken new photos on the iphone and plug it in to the imac, to load the pics into iphoto, it shows the latest photos as well as some random photos from 6 months ago.
before the updates i would just plug in and only the newest photos would show up.
any idea what's going on?
thanks!

still trying to find a solution... does anyone have any idea? thanks!

IBook acting strange...erase and reinstalled...it's starting to be strange

My iBook was acting strangely...I can't connect to the wireless server, though ISP, network settings and Airport are all correct and the connection is visible and the strength of the connection will change. I cannot load any internet pages. In addition, my iDisk icon disappeared, then on restart, it reappeared, but I have no access to it. A "copy of previous iDisk" then appeared on my desktop with all of the contents, but I can't move them from this version as it says I do not have access. So, I started looking at the logs, to see what, if any, errors there were. I didn't have access to the security log and a few others - although I'm the only user account on this computer. Needless to say, I'm no expert so I "spotlighted" some of the things showing up in the logs. Spotlight returned articles on Apache and XTools (Xcode?) - neither of which I installed (I think Apache might come included). I looked and sure enough, XTools was on my hard drive with many, many files - most with the name or extension of pb or pbx. I started to dig a little deeper in the program and noticed some scripts in the vein of when user enters/types "xyz" initiate process or replace with "zyx", etc. I saved some of these files to the desktop, powered off and restarted. When I opened the desktop after the restart, all of the files were in the trash - not by my doing. I removed them and locked them to the desktop until I could figure out what happened. Then, they disappeared, my computer shut down and when I tried to restart, I couldn't get past the spinning gear.
I took this to the store, they checked it, said they could recognize a drive, that I should archive and reinstall. I did this, things still acted strangely. I called AppleCare, they said to back up everything and reinstall.
I did this, now am finding repairs are needed through disk utility for security and authorization priviledges. I repair, go back in a few hours, run it again, just to satisfy my curiosity and the same repairs are needed for disk permissions.
A friend has uttered the horrible "trojan horse" phrase to me...as I download regularly from LimeWire. I'm not sure what a next step would be to free the iBook of it's quirkiness.
Sorry for the long post...but it's been an eventful few days.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

You can ignore any permission repair that states "We are using special...". I'm not sure about Tiger but Panther has a few others that come up if the cron maintenance scripts have run.
Other than the repeating permission repairs, is it running OK now?

My macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset. the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from the 'top sites' page.

my macbook pro started acting strange after a safari reset.
the mouse no longer: animates the dock, activates hot corners or selects pages from safari 'top sites' (without a hassle). attempts to reset dock and hot corners from preferences has been fruitless
the mouse also gets 'stuck' in logic precipitating force quits.
i run osX 10.6.8 on a 2007 macbook pro that has had 2 motherboards replaced autumn 2010.
my troubleshooting has been: restart, pRam and safe boot, also checking a 'test' account to find the same issues extant.
pRam restart caused airport to quit and say there is no airport card, and wouldn't respond untill another reboot.

i have treated this book with care, yet run logic pro studio to the limit of this book's abilities.
what shoud i do?

You don't say which year you have, however...
...there are known problems with the mid-2010 models (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4088?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US) as well as early and late 15" 2011 models (see https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4766577?tstart=0).
Apple has taken ownership of the problems with the 2010 model but, unfortunately, the free logic board replacement for that model has probably long expired for you - three years after date of purchase.
One the 2011 models Apple has admitted no defect. You'll just have to skim the articles to get an overview of the problems that people are having (usually showing up as screen glitches at first and then going downhill from there).
Good luck,

New Socket() acting strangely under Windows

Hello,
First a little background:
I have a client application that connects to a server application through a socket. The client first checks to see the server is 'reachable' using the .isReachable() method. If this return true, all is good. If it returns false, the application sets up to use a Microsoft Windows DUN connection and VPN to connect to the server. This is handled through a 3rd party .jar file called jdialup. Oh, one more thing, the client pc is connected to the network through a hub. In other words, the pc is connected to a hub. The hub is connected to the network using it's up-link port... Everything so far is pretty simple enough...
Now the issue:
If I disconnect the network cable from the back of the pc and run my client application, it says that the server is not reachable, which is fine. The application then dials out to our ISP and connects to our VPN. The client application connects to the server application through a socket and sends the request and receives the response. The client then disconnects. Everything is GOOD.
Now, if I disconnect the network cable from the up-link on the hub, thus removing the client pc from the network, this is where the strangeness happens! I run my client application, it again says that the server is not reachable, which is fine. The application again dials out to our ISP and connects to our VPN. This is fine. Now though, when I attempt to make the socket connection to the server, it times out! The actual call to
Socket socket = new Socket(ipaddress, port);times out...
This seems very strange to me... Any ideas?
PS: In both situations when I connect to the VPN, I can ping and telnet to the server. It is the Socket call that is acting strange...
Thanks,

I've been following this and I'm baffled by the
discussion so far. Has the thread been trimmed? I believe we got off on a tangent, but the problem is that in certain circumstances the client application tries to connect to the server application the call the 'new Socket()' times out... You will have to read my original post...
Anyway, I believe that I have figured it out. It was related to the gateway option in the network setup on the client pc.
Originally I had the gateway option set to be an ip address internal to our network. Our network guy said that in this situation, I needed to set the gateway to an ip address outside out network. When I did that, everything now work beautifully. Why? I have no real idea as I am not a network guy, but it work now and I am happy...
Thanks for everyones help and sorry for all the confusion.

Last night Adobe PS CC updated and it's acting strange

Adobe CC PS updated last night and so Adobe CC PS (2014) updated. Now when I upload to Bridge and open ACR I have the old sliders, not the new ones and my ACR Presets are acting strange and not working like they were before. Does anyone know why? Should I try to delete one of the programs? I work on an IMax . Newest system updates. Thanks in advance
Julie
[email protected]

I showed a screen shot of what happens when I open my photo in PS.
So here are the other screen shots. I select the Preset I've always used.
Which changes my ACR to 2003:
Then I have to click on the I icon thing at the bottom of the grey to convert back to present ACR. (see below)
All of my images are taken with a Canon 6D just a few weeks ago. Does that help?

DW acting strange - does not go to code view

My Dreamweaver CS3 has started acting strangely since I
upgraded to a new version of CS3 studio.
I have been working with CS3 for a while now without needing
too much of an adjustment from DW8.
However, I just bought a new computer so I had to reinstall
all my software.
On the new box, DW is acting mighty strange:
1) When I am in Layout view and click on an element to go to
the corresponding line of code for the element it no longer goes to
the line. However, it does when I r-click on it. It is a bit
annoying since it also opens the contextual menu at the same time.
2) When I am in code view (which is 99% of the time) and I
click on an element, it no longer shows me the corresponding CSS
rule in the CSS pane. Again, if I r-click sometiomes it works, but
this one is not reliable either way. Sometimes it works if I double
click, but most of the time it doesn't.
3) The comment icon on the code toolbar is often grayed out.
No reason I can see and just as often it wil work on the same line
of code where it didn't work a minute before.
I combed the preferences line by line without success.
On my old computer I never had any issues like this. I find
it very strange and it is crimping my workflow considerably. Is
anyone familiar with theis behavior or how to fix it?

The times I have seen others post things like this, it's been
due to a bad
installation - reinstalling fixes it.

PREFERENCES? No way that I know of.
SNIPPETS? Copy the Configuration/Snippets folder from the
USER-specific
application folder and paste to a similar location on the new
computer.
XP-
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\Snippets
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
VISTA-
E:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\Snippets
or on Mac -
Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver
9/Configuration/Snippets
SITE DEFINITIONS? Export from DW on one computer to portable
media, and
Import to the other.

Safari's Tabs Acting Strange After 10.6.4 Update

Hi guys,
After the 10.6.4 update Safari's tabs have been acting strangely. Say I have Apple.com open in one tab and I hit Apple-T to open a new tab. It then changes that tab (which Apple.com was loaded on) to the Top Sites, keeps the focus on this tab, then opens a blank tab right next to it. I effectively lose the page I was using and a blank one appears. Any ideas as to how to fix this?
Thanks for the help!

HI,
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons and click Reset. Relaunch Safari. If you still having problems...
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.
And if you didn't repair disk permissions after you updated Safari, it's a good idea to do that.
Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

CarPlay Acting Strange

Since I got my Apple Watch on the 24th, CarPlay has been acting strange. Here are the issues I've noticed so far:
I can not get Siri to activate in any way shape or form. Previously, certain apps would activate Siri upon launch in the car. For instance, opening the phone app would immediately have Siri ask me whom I'd like to call. I was also able to use my "hands free" button on my steering wheel to activate Siri at any time. Now, since I've had the Apple Watch, Siri never activates.
The podcasts app constantly causes Springboard to crash and restart. This happens not only when playing a podcast, but sometimes just browsing them.
Music controls are hit and miss. Sometimes the onscreen music playback controls work and sometimes I have to look at the Music glance on my watch to control the music playback.
Is anyone else experiencing these or other issues?
P.S. In case it matters, I've got a Pioneer Nex-8000 head unit in my car. CarPlay was working very well before I got my Apple Watch, so I'm assuming this is an issue with iOS/CarPlay/Watch and not the head unit.

I have been working with computer since 72 and still do not understand them. All is working, for the time being. I will run it through its paces a few more time to believe that it straightened itself out.
I would still like to know if I am able to delete an apple application and reinstall it?

Mouse acting strange

If I close the project and open a new one from the File menu than very often my Apple Mighty mouse doesn't act as it supposed to in Logic any more. The "wheel" ( ball ) does not move Logic window up-down and left-right. To get this feature back I always have to restart Logic. This happens also when Logic is running for a while and then I open a project by clicking on icon of a project...
Finally in Arrange window sometimes track buttons like Mute, Solo (region mute and solo), Record ready are not "clickable". For exanple: I can not make track Record ready with the button visible on each track- have to view channel strip of that track and click on Record button there (under the fader). So I have to restart Logic again... Is that "normal"?

Thanks for reply. No. I did not add any new device. But I also think that it really is not mighty mouse problem-I checked that at the same time it is not working in Logic it works in other apps like Safari, Preview etc without problem.
My G5 is acting strange for last 10 days. That's it. I have also big problem with opening Logic-it is very often (90% times) quitting before opening, after 3-5 seconds I doule-click to open a project or Logic app... (I made a separate Topic about it)

ZEN MICRO PHOTO ACTING STRANGE PLEASE HELP.

I have had my Zen MicroPhoto for a bout a month now and it is great! I use it quit often. However just yesterday, it began acting strange.... It deleted many of the files that I originally transferred to it and whenever I start it up, it says "rebuilding library" Also it does not display the now playing info for teh current track. it only displays "choose a track from music list" It will play songs and stuff but it just seems strange..... I do not know what to do about it.... Should I reinstall the firmware or what? please someone help me.... I would appreciate any advice on the subject... I freakin' love using my ZenMicro. help me save it. Thank you.

aaron78: Follow the advice in the section "My Zen is not behaving properly, won't startup, or goes into rescue mode. What should I do?" in the FAQ.
Snoweagle: Reloading the firmware shouldn't erase the data, although you should ALWAYS keep a backup.

Powerbook acting strangely....help!

Hello!
My Powerbook g4 17 has been acting strangely the past two days. It all started when I had both Safari and iPhoto open. I got the Beach ball of death and my computer froze (I had been getting the SBBOD on occasion, but never had it caused a full blown freeze before). I tried all the force quit commands and finally I had to manually shut it down. It had trouble restarting, it would chime but then it wouldn't get past the first screen with the grey apple symbol. I turned it off and let it "rest" overnight. The next day it turned on fine, but the computer's "thinking" noises sound different. More of a buzz now than the usual clicking and whirring noises. The power button also makes a strange "BEEEEOOOOooooop" noise when I turn it off, which is also new.
To make a long story short, I tried to run disc utility and it froze on me again when it finished. I had to hard start it (and again, and again, and again...)and it won't go past the first screen UNLESS I let it sit turned off for at least 5 minutes. Once I do manage to get it turned on, it acts fine for maybe a half and hour or so until it slows down (thinking gets labored) and freezes on me again.
Any ideas on what may be going on? I'm worried it's something really bad.....

Thank you BGreg.
I have 27GB free out of my 80GB drive, so no issue there...
I tried to do the boot up with the OS X install cd witn no luck. I was on the phone with AppleCare last night for over an hour and after trying many different things, it seems I am going to have to mail it in for repairs.
Here I was hoping it'd be something simple.
And of course, I backed up as much as I could. I'm crossing my fingers!

IPhone 3GS Frrezing, Deleting stuff, acting strange

My 3GS has been acting strange the past week or two. It is doing so many strange things that I'll just bullet and list them....
It freezes for 5-10 seconds, randomly. Can't swipe to a new screen, press and buttons or anything. Then returns to normal.
Push an App button and it's like I held in the button to delete or move icons.....
Sometimes pushing an App button doesn't load the App. Takes a few times to get it to open.
When typing a text or email, it adds periods in randomly. If I hit the delete button, it will sometimes just delete the text I just wrote.
There's a tiny gap at the top between the clock, battery, etc.... some black space. Sometimes, the upper "bar" moves to the very top of the screen leaving no black space. Not sure if I explained that too well.
I replaced the battery a few months ago because it would just shut off when it reached 50-60%. Others have had the same problem. Replacement went really smooth and it worked fine for at least a month or so.... so I doubt that's the culprit.
I have turned it off and on a few times. Synced with iTunes a few times and no luck. I have not restored yet. Don't really know what Restore does but I am going to read up on it.
Any other ideas or is anyone having similar issues? I search and found nothing....
Thanks!
Jerrod

My 3Gs is freezing on certain contacts (growing number and I believe they're all ATT customers.
To make matters worse...my daughter is a text addict... And most of the other texters just won't pay attention to my pleas that they calmer e.mail me, until the daughter's Saturday Wedding is over... So I can make an appt. At an Apple retailer to have a "genius" help me with this!!!! Everyone coming in for the rehearsal and Wedding is testing me! And I cannot open their message, much less reply via this form of messaging!
I'm so unable to mess with this right now-
I called ATT tech support and we tried a couple of possible options to fix this and wound up with something that was SO convoluted involving my PowerBook ( which was at home where I was NOT!) and a week later, here am, without reliable testing! Did you get any results in your problem?!?

Safari is acting strangely on several counts

For the last several days, Safari is acting strangely on several counts. I haven't downloaded any updates or plugins recently, and I am not aware of any Safari viruses on Mac OS X, so I'm totally lost here. Please help!
1. Periodically, Safari will stop loading a page completely. So it will start and then the url bar will be partially blue and the circle will keep circling but nothing will happen. Once it does this on one tab in that window, it will start doing it on all new tabs opened up in that window, but any original tab there might still go through. If I close the window and reopen another window, all sites on all tabs will go right through. I tried disabling DNS prefetching, and that helps Safari behave for a few minutes, then it goes back to such strange behavior. I tested using my wireless and using a different network, and it happens on both, so it's not my router. Sometimes, opening a new window doesn't help. So I shut down Safari and restart. Sometimes that doesn't help either, so I end up having to reset Safari. Obviously, having to reset Safari multiple times a day is neither productive nor ideal.
2. When it does that url thing, it also seems to become incapable of completing from history or bookmarks. So for example, if I open a tab and type a website name, it won't complete it, even though I have that bookmarked. Generally when that happens on the first tab of a window, I can pull up the site from bookmarks and it will load immediately. But the next tab I open in that window, will do the webpage not loading business I described in #1 above.
3. A short while ago, i tried resizing a window and it did the strangest thing where it would expand the window space, but just give me a "gray area" rather than expanding the whole web page. I closed the window, opened a new one and resizing worked fine again.
4. A short while ago, another strange happening: everytime I opened up a new tab in the window and loaded a site, it would merge that tab with my old tab and delete the first tab, so at any given time, it was just a single tab window. I closed the window and reopened, and voila normal tab behavior again.
Strangely, if I have two windows open - as I often do - only one window will be affected by such strange behavior. The other one will function normally. But such odd behavior is not limited to instances when I have two windows open. It's also happening when there's one window open. For reasons I do not understand, it seems something in the processes of a window gets corrupted after a little while on Safari and that window starts acting strangely.
Odd and irritating and difficult. I'd greatly appreciate your help!
I'm using Safari 5.0.6 on OS X 10.5.8... thanks!

I don't see anything in your post regarding the Safari cache. BTW, a "reset" does not empty the cache.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache. Restart your Mac, try Safari.
If that didn't help, quit Safari if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari
Move the Cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try Safari.
If nothing above helped, make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk. Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you have a minimum of 15% free disk space.
If nothing above has helped, try Safari in another user account. If you see the same issues there, log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks.

Logic is acting strange,now...
