hi,my berry flip has been acting weird for a few weeks now.So is my 2 otherfriends. But specificly one of my friends. I think we are being hacked. Is there any ways i could find out who's doing this and or how can we prevent them from hacking us. Thank you.

Hi there!
"Hacking" of a BB would be highly unusual and unexpected -- if ever. After all, POTUS has one, and such would not be allowed if they were hackable. I believe that something else is going on, but lacking specifics, only generic advice can be given.
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
If that does not work, then please return to these forums (http://supportforums.blackberry.com/rim/) and register an account so that we can provide you with direct assistance.
Best!

Macbook Pro 2010 Slowing down and acting weird for no apparent reason.

I got this computer in September 2010 new from apple. Macbook Pro 15", 2.4 GHz Intel Core i5. memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 build: 10J869 version 10.6.7
Recently it seems to have hit a wall (running very slow). When I try to open any program it takes 10 times longer than normal...Always beach balling. This isn't normal. I have not been running many programs besides firefox and itunes lately. And The occasional Word Processor document. Sometimes when I type the computer will go very slow letter by letter. (it takes a few seconds to type one word) Also, sometimes it will work normally. I haven't had any weird error messages. Although, just a few minutes ago I was in Firefox and the words at the top of the screen vanished. (File Edit View History Bookmarks Tools Window-----all disappear)
Please help, the computer is not very old, I don't understand why this is happening.

A slow computer can be caused by a multitude of issues. The first thing I'd try is to check in Activity Monitor (Application - Utilities - Activity Monitor) and run it while you are doing your normal computing, what I'd recommend looking for are 2 things:
1. Look to see if there is an application or applications that is taking a lot of %CPU. For example if you noticed FireFox or iTunes using 85% of your CPU that is a huge red flag something is wrong.
2. Next click the System Memory tab towards the bottom and see how much FREE RAM you have during normal computing. If it's 500MB or below then your system is starved for RAM.
Report back what you find and then we can test some other items.

My iphone has been acting weird for the last few weeks... Slow apps, freezing apps, apps closing, slow texting. Now it has frozen with the white apple in the center and I can't turn it on or reset it???

Please help!!!

Restore the phone in iTunes, first using a backup, and if needed as a new phone (without using a backup). If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure or the phone was previously hacked (jailbroken, downgraded, unauthorized unlocking).
iOS: Unable to update or restore

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

Hallo, my Firefox browser wont load youtube for some reason, the explorer will. I have tries to change the proxy setings as the firefox help center suggested, but to no avail. Also no updates were installed on firefox that I'm aware of. pleas help me.

Hallo,
For some reason firefox has stopped loading the youtube site for me. I can watch videos other people uploaded to facebook for example, but cant get into the site. the explorer will load the site, so I've tried changing the proxy settings in my firefox as recommended in the help center, but to no avail. Also there was no update installed that I'm aware of, getting to youtube through any link will simply give me an error message saying the connection was reset while the page was loading.
pleas help me.

I had trouble with youtube and cleared all history and cache. This cleared up the problem(s).

I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help

I have just upgrade my Ipad3 to IO6 and for some reason the youtube app just gone disappeared. Please help!!

The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)

Weird Mario Music Plays for no Reason -- HELP!!!

Ok guys, I just upgraded to leopard today, and I'm gettin REALLY weird problems. Sometimes, my macbook just plays this weird mario theme like music or this weird buzzing and bird chirping sound for no reason whatsoever. I have made sure that there is nothing running other than finder, yet it is still happening. Also, if it helps, I took a list of all the activities in my activity monitor, so see if you can see anything weird.

Hahahhahahahahahahahah!!!!!
I just figured it out.
I had made a web clip of Nintendo.com, and apparanty, it was making the sounds. I guess I didn't realize that web clips keep the sounds associated with the webpages they are linked to. In the end, I guess I paniced over nothing, but man, that was WEIRD!

Hey there FlamingTurd!
If you are having issues connecting to the App Store on your phone, there is an article here that can help you troubleshoot this issue a little further:
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

Finder acting weird lately for certain features (Bluetooth, Adobe illustrator etc.)

Hi Everyone,
I have recently come across a new problem with my macbook pro.
While working with certain applications the finder is acting weird.
Adobe Illustrator - On trying to place a certain document from the desktop onto the art board on my AI file I tried to go the traditional way of placinf it by opening file > clicking on place > (finder pops open). Now, as soon as it came up it took just about 2 seconds for it to disappear. And it has been happening continuosly since then.
Bluetooh - to transfer some files from bluetooth on mac to my cellphone I chose the option: Send files to device...
Same thing happened again. Finder popped open and vanished in no time. Only this time I was completely unable to open it again at all.
The finder works perfectly everywhere else till now (atleast nothing wrong yet) but this is worrying me a bit as I have been reading about certain news of OS Mavericks being attacked by some flashback virus.
I would be grateful If anyone could help me with this.
Thankyou,
John Tushar

Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Preferences/com.apple.BluetoothFileExchange.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this.
You might need to redo the View settings after an update.
Since I don't use Adobe Illustrator, I don't know which .plist might be causing the problem. You could try doing the above with all Adobe Illustrator .plists.

I am using Iphone 5. Since the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal

I am using Iphone 5. SInce the last 3 weeks the phones has been acting weird. on dialling a call it get hung on disconnecting it stays on the call ending screen only. this happens for atleast 5 to 7 minutes and then it gets to normal or the other way is to turn the device off and then turn it on. the phones also running slow and therefore at times becomes very cumbersome. a few of my friends have also been having the same problems.
I have taken the phone to the service outles but the best they did was to reboot the phone it works fine for a day or two but again the same issue.
Can anyone share any info on it?

I'm glad to hear that they replaced your phone. Any experience I have had with Apple customer service and/or Genius bar has been extremely positive. While I have had positive outcomes from trouble with other phones in the past, they are not as quick and friendly. I had a Motorola phone and a Samsung phone go bad several years ago and warranty work through AT&T required that I wait for a replacement unit and then mail back the original unit to keep from being charged for the device. This usually meant almost a week without a phone. Nice to walk into Apple and walk out with a replacement device. Enjoy your phone.

USB Cord for WoW Headset acting weird.

Whenever I move slightly, the cord will for some reason tell my computer it's unplugged and I have to replug in the entire thing to get it to work. It's getting incredibly irritating, and I can't figure out why it's doing this unless the cord is flawed inside the braiding in some way, though I can't imagine how.
Has anyone had this problem?
Can I get a replacement USB cord if this is the problem?
If it's not the problem, then what is it, and how can I fix it?
If it can't be fixed am I eligible for a replacement?

Uennie,
It would be advisable to write to our Customer Support to see how they can help you.

Ellipsis 7 tablet - drops wi-fi and goes to mobile data w/o telling you, and for no reason?

I don't totally hate my Ellipsis 7 tablet. It does have a nice, bright screen, and it does have a fairly fast processor.
This is where the compliments stop.
1.) It's glitchy. As others have stated, icons do seem to disappear.
2.) It seems to "lose communication" with my high-end Sandisk micro-sd card (that has no other problems when used in my smartphone.)
3.) The battery life could be a lot better - you will charge it every day, even with minimal use.
but my biggest problem with this tablet (which I got from my local Verizon store) is it's "sneaky behavior" with mobile data. I am nearly convinced that these devices are designed, intentionally, to use up your mobile data whenever possible, even when solid wi-fi is available.
Have any of you Verizon Ellipsis 7 users, that use these primarily at home with wi-fi available, noticed a rather large increase in the mobile data being used?
This is sort of long, so I appreciate everyone who takes the time to read this...
Here's my scenario; which I can duplicate.
I live in a place with 2 strong wi-fi networks available. The tablet accesses both of them with no problem. Speed tests show 10Mbps download and 0.768 Mbps upload, the speed we pay for.
One night, I get the text messages from Verizon that I'm close to using all my mobile data. (which I appreciate) But I'd been getting so many texts, emails, etc., that day I didn't look to see what the alert was. My bad! So, I'd gone over and approved $10 to upgrade with one more GB of data. I figured it was a fluke; that somehow I had turned off my wi-fi, or it had gone down, or somehow something happened that made the tablet switch over to mobile data.
...but I was watching more closely now...
less than 24 hours later, I'm getting those messages again! I'd used one GB in less than 24 hours??? So I called Verizon, and we went through the normal putting limits on the device, etc., so it couldn't happen again.
So then, I asked him the simple question? When not 1, but 2, strong wi-fi signals are available, why would this device switch over to mobile data, WITHOUT letting you know???
He couldn't answer that. He transferred me to someone else that was "higher" in techincal support. She was a sweet girl, and really wanted to help me, but she never understood my problem. At one point I said to her, "Look, it's simple. These devices always default to wi-fi if available. What would make them disconnect from wi-fi and go to mobile data instead?" Her answer was that she needed to look up if a tablet was supposed to connect to wi-fi first... uh, OK.
At the end of a very frustrating call, she offered to send me a box to ship it back to Verizon in. They would then decide to repair or replace it. I would be without a tablet for a minimum of two weeks. I said Thanks but No Thanks, I would just disable mobile data entirely. The lady I spoke with did not seem pleased with my decision, but what could she do? And we ended the call.
So, I'm still trying to figure out what is making this thing kick over to mobile data (remember I just shut mobile data off entirely before I hung up with Verizon) and I was currently connected to an external bluetooth speaker (which shouldn't have anything to do with anything, I realize), when I started a video on YouTube.
Now, mind you, I was ALREADY showing connected to a strong wi-fi network.
And up comes a dialog popup, asking me to turn the wi-fi back on, even though I would incur additional charges!
BUSTED, VERIZON!
This message doesn't come up when it tries to switch over from wi-fi to mobile data unless you have completely shut off mobile data.
I only mention that I was connected to an external bluetooth speaker because it is the only way (SO FAR) that I have been able to duplicate this "silent switchover" repeatedly.
If I'm on Youtube first, not connected to my bluetooth external speaker, the device will stay on my wi-fi network when I pause the video, connect to the bluetooth speaker, and then restart the video.
If I'm already connected to the external bluetooth speaker, and then open a browser window or youtube video, the device will attempt to change its connection from wi-fi to mobile data. There is no reason for this!
Yes, yes... I realize that being connected to an external bluetooth device should have absolutely nothing to do with whether the tablet should keep its wi-fi connection or switch to mobile data...
except that it does! And there may be other circumstances that I haven't found yet... I don't know, but I'm watching!
At the end of the day, ANY DEVICE THAT IS GOING TO SWITCH FROM A WI-FI NETWORK TO MOBILE DATA, FOR ANY REASON, SHOULD TELL YOU IT'S GOING TO SWITCH, AND LET YOU DECIDE TO ALLOW THAT CHANGE OR NOT, especially when there is NO REASON for the device to switch in the first place. In the same household are my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and husband's Galaxy S5. They never exhibit this behavior, and yes, we use internet on our phones at home rather frequently.
Watch your mobile data folks...
Oh, and the Verizon lady called back about 30 minutes later... asking me again to agree to send my tablet in. I explained to her that I could now duplicate the problem. I told her that it would be easy enough for them to check and see if all devices are doing it (which I'm guessing they all do! there's not enough memory to download any apps, so I doubt it's that...) I said that with the millions of Ellipsis 7 devices they have, someone in tech support can grab one and try it. Still no luck, and she still wanted me to send it back and be without a tablet for 2 weeks or more. I declined.
Anyway, if you've read this far, I thank you! I would like opinions as to whether you think this should be happening or not, and whether you have had this happen to you or not with this tablet. Thank you for your time!

Hello this is happening to us also (minus the Bluetooth speaker). We can't figure out what is causing the data usage. I turned off mobile data as soon s I activated the device, and got the message that unless I am connected to WiFi.....(that is exactly what I wanted). We watched Netflix for about three hours, then the alerts started. Like you we have many devices connected and never used over 2GB now all of a sudden we have used it in a matter of hours. My husband called Verizon and got the usual doubting Thomas response. I understand that they don't know my device settings. So over the phone we check all the settings and turned off every possible culprit eating up the data and end the call. By now I have purchased another gig for the month! Assured we are NOT using mobile data, we continue on the IE path to bliss. HA! A few hours later I check the mobile data usage on the Verizon website and that darn thing is still using data. After two more phone calls and two VERY uneventful trips to the local store we were told to take out the sim card. This has stopped the data usage, but it defeats the purpose of having the data plan. I could have just stuck with my Surface. Verizon sent us a new sim card. Its been installed and I have set my homepage to Verizon mobile data usage (just kidding) but I am on that site a lot. I am surprised at the number of complaints about this device. When we called the Verizon support acted as though this was the first time they had heard about this. Loved your post, you should write for a living.

MacBook Pro acting weird at startup

Hi,
First of all thank you for reading this, it's quite a long story. And sorry for any grammatical mistakes, I'm Dutch.
Summary
My MBP suddenly has been acting really weird: kernel_task eating 150-200% of the CPU which caused a super slow MBP, power button not working well, and MBP shutdown after ten minutes without touching it and with the battery on 90%. I did a clean install of OS X Lion, some PRAM and SMC resets and removed the MacBookPro7_1.plist file from the system library. The kernel_task high CPU problem is now fixed. But the power button is still not working: most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button in a first attempt. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Sometimes it works fine on the first attempt. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine. I'm also worried about the random shutdown. What could probably cause the problem with the power button and the MBP shutting down when I don't touch it, and is there a way to fix this myself? I'm not really into tech, so please keep your answer simple.
My MacBook Pro "13 (mid 2010) with OS X Lion has always been a charm since I bought it. I've never had any problems with my MBP until now. Two weeks ago I was going on a holiday and had to check a few things on my MBP in a hurry right before I was leaving. I'm afraid I forgot to turn off my MBP before I went on my holiday, but I can't remember this exactly. When I came back after a week, my MBP started acting weird at startup and then became really slow. The kernel_task was eating my CPU with 200% and I've tried many things to fix the MBP myself but it still isn't working well. I hope you can help me with this.
This is what happened:
1. When I push the power button to start my MBP, the first time it shuts down three seconds after I push the button. After the first attempt I hold the power button for five seconds, and my MBP turns on the right way. After all the fixes I've done this is still an issue.
2. When I finally got my MBP started the first time after my holiday, it was really really really slow. I later found out that the cause was the kernel_task eating my CPU. It was using 150-200% with no applications running.
3. The MBP was acting normally (not slow) in safe mode, but in safe mode I couldn't open some sites in Google Chrome, like Facebook and Google Maps. So this didn't work either (and was not the solution to my problem).
4. I did some things with PRAM and SMC reset but this didn't work.
5. A clean install was already on my mind for weeks, so I decided that this was the right moment. After I did a manual backup (not with Time Machine) I restarted my MBP holding some buttons to startup the OS X Utilities screen. I first erased my Macintosh HD and then I wanted to install Mavericks because that was the only option from the menu. It took me five hours and at the end it came up with a 'can't download Mavericks, try again' screen. The MBP wasn't starting up anymore because OS X Lion was already erased.
6. So I became annoyed and decided to use my original Snow Leopard dvd which came with my MBP. Installing Snow Leopard took me two days!!!!!!!
7. When I finally got Snow Leopard installed, it still was really really slow and the kernel_task was messing up my CPU again.
8. After some hours of searching on the internet, I read the following thing: fixing the kernel_task problem was easy by removing a file from the system library (http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259). Of course I've researched this solution because I'm not a fan of changing things in the system. But I decided to give this a try and it worked! Like a charm!
9. I still was on Snow Leopard and decided to upgrade to Lion again, because I did know for sure that my MBP could handle Lion and I wasn't sure with Mavericks. So I first downloaded Lion from the App Store and then opened the installation program. This took me one day again, probably because the file from the system library was put back with the installation of Lion...
10. When I finally got Lion running, the kernel_task was using a high CPU% again so I removed the file from the system library again and restarted my MBP. This worked.
11. I'm working on Lion for a day now and I've installed some applications (Adobe CS5 Master Collection, Office for Mac, updated my 17.000 mails in Mac Mail, and installed some browsers). It's working fine and the kernel_task is at 1-10%. The issue with the power button is still there but sometimes it works fine at the first attempt. Yesterday my MBP suddenly shut down when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. The battery was still on 90%. Maybe this was caused by the fact that my MBP was running for four days non stop because of the OS X installations, and it was a hot day yesterday.
So this is what I've done so far in this order:
1. First of all I did a manual backup on my external HDD. Not with Time Machine.
2. I tried to restart my MBP multiple times. Restarting from the desktop worked well, but shutting it down and than turning it on with the power button didn't work well.
3. I did PRAM and SMC resets multiple times.
4. I decided to do a clean install and erased my Macintosh HD from the OS X Utilities screen at startup.
5. Then I wanted to upgrade from Lion to Mavericks but Mavericks couldn't be downloaded.
6. I've installed Snow Leopard from the original dvd, this took me two days.
7. I've followed the instructions from http://www.rdoxenham.com/?p=259 (remove the file MacBookPro7_1.plist from the system library) and this worked for my MBP.
8. Because my MBP was working fine again, I decided to upgrade to Lion. This took me one day.
9. My MBP was really slow again: Lion put the MacBookPro7_1.plist back in the system library so I removed it again. This worked.
10. The problem with the power button still holds so I did a SMC reset again. Didn't work. My MBP also shut down yesterday when I didn't touch it for like ten minutes. I hope this was caused by the fact that the MBP was running for four days non stop, and it was a hot day so maybe it was overheated.
So everything is working fine again, but the power button still isn't. Most of the time my MBP shuts down three seconds after I push the power button. In the second attempt I hold it for like five seconds and this works. Restarting the MBP from the desktop works fine, and the kernel_task is now using 1-10%. I'm also worried about my MBP suddenly shutting down. Is there a way to fix this myself?
Thank you!

TokkieTor,
This is the full error message I got from the test:
4SNS/1/40000000: IP0R-9:166
I read that those letters (IP0R) stand for different errors in the hardware, in my case it's something with the Power Bus according to this website: http://www.cnet.com/news/how-to-invoke-and-interpret-the-apple-hardware-tests/.
Again, I'm really not into tech so what is a Power Bus and should I be worried?
what you have is a problem with a sensor which monitors power bus current. The power bus is the main pathway along which electricity travels in your MacBook Pro. If the sensor isn’t individually repairable, then you could have reason to worry — if they tell you that a logic board replacement would be needed, then that could cost hundreds of euros. (One would hope that replacing a sensor would not require a logic board replacement, but only hardware experts can say for sure.)
I think that posts here are only editable for ten or fifteen minutes after replying.

My youtube is acting weird for no reason
