New IE activeX issues and FScommand

Hi!
Im fixing the new MS IE behaviour about restricting non-MS
activeX content. Probbably many of you guys are in the same task
these days... Anyway, I followed this article:
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/activecontent/articles/devletter.html
Everything is OK, BUT FScommand capture javascript function
is not working anymore when SWF is embeeded via external javascript
function...
Any ideas?
Thanks...

I have not had any issues with communicating using the
FSCommand once a JS solution was in place. You need to make sure
that you do not reference the "id" or "name" of the embedded file
before JS has had a chance to create it. I had to make minor
adjusts to some of my code to fix this. Also, another very good
solution for the IE trouble is the following:

This is a very good solution and will work as you expect with
the FSCommand.

New iMac: Screen Issues and Noisy Hard Drive

Hello,
I'm writing regarding my new 27" iMac which I purchased just under a week ago (spec: 3.1GHz Intel Core i5, 1TB HDD, 4GB RAM).
When I got my iMac home and unboxed it, all was fine, however once I had began to install some applications and use them, I noticed an unusual issue with the screen. I had a Skype window open on the left hand side of my screen, with an ongoing chat, Obviously, the chat 'stream' was moving, but the menu items on the far left remained the same. The iMac had been on for about 10mins, with the Skype window open for the same duration. After which, I opened iPhoto, and made it full screen, filling my screen with a dark grey background. I could still see the outline of the text from my Skype window through the iPhoto window. Thinking the window may have been semi-transparent, I closed the Skype window, however when I re-fullscreened iPhoto, the test was still there, as if it was burnt into the screen.
I understand the concept of screen burn, but surely this shouldn't happen after just 10mins? It's nothing permanent, as it fades away again within another 5mins or so, but it is annoying knowing that I can't leave a window open for very long without worrying I will have text burnt into my screen for a period of time. As a graphic designer, I could be working on images that are dark, and likewise, I don't want to see remains of my chat or emails over the top of my design work.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is this an issue that can be repaired by myself (eg. installing a firmware update, although I have all the latest updates from Software Update)? Or should I just return my iMac to the store and get them to look at it? I'm worried that if I take it back, they may fail to see the issue, as the lighing is a lot different in the store to at home.
The other issue I am experiencing is I have a very noisy hard drive, that seems to click and make a grumbling noise rather a lot. Obviously at times when the computer is working hard, this is to be expected (I think), although most of the time it is grumbling away whilst I'm just browsing in Safari with one tab open.
Has anyone else experienced this issue, taken it back and has a successful replacement? I've read that it could be to do with Mac OS X Lion, because people have reported that their hard drive ran silently on Snow Leopard but has got noisier with Lion. Should I wait for a Lion update before returning it? Other than the issues above, everything is fine.
Thanks for taking the time to read this, and I look forward to someone being able to shine some light on my issues.

Thanks for the advice.
Today, I returned my iMac to the Apple Premium Resellers where I purchased it. The helpful chap there looked at my screen and acknowledged the issue, before giving me a brand new iMac.
My previous model came with Snow Leopard pre-installed, which I upgraded to Lion. This new, second iMac is a relatively new one as it has Lion pre-installed. Feeling hopeful, I've just arrived home and unpackaged my new computer.
The result? EXACTLY the same issue. My Twitter window on the far left of my display has been open for no longer than about 7 or 8 mins, and I can clearly see the display pictures from my follwees burnt into the screen when I full screen a dark app like Snow Leopard.
I'm wondering whether this is a Lion issue? Should I wait for a software update before returning it again? It's not something that's going to be annoying on a day-to-day basis, but now that I know it's doing it, I can't help but keep checking when I open iPhoto.
PEOPLE WITH NEW 27" iMAC's: Would you please perform the following test for me and let me know the results?
1. Open up a white backgrounded application, such as Twitter, Skype, or Safari.
2. Leave it on screen (anywhere, but far left seems to be worst) for about 5 to 10mins.
3. Open up iPhoto with it's grey full screen background, or set your wallpaper to a flat colour dark grey.
4. Now minimise the white backgrounded windows, and switch to a grey background with no windows in front of it.
5. Look carefully at your screen: can you still see an outline of/text from the window in the position that it was, like it's burnt into the screen?
Thanks in advance to anyone that can perform this for me.

New A2109 power issue and what I've learned so far

Hello all,
The battery was low on my new A2109 last night so I turned it off and put it on the charger overnight. However now it seems to be bricked......will not power on, cannot be see on computer either when connected. I tried all the tips and tricks that I could find on the forums, to no avail.....no power, no boot, nothing. Tried another charger....nothing.
So I called the Lenovo support number and spoke with someone that I could barely understand, who went down the mandatory checklist to try all of the things that I had already tried.....still bricked. She told me I could send it in to the factory for repair.
Now then contrast this with the 4 Kindle Fires that my family owns (4.......I am the contrarion and found the Lenovo on sale so I decided to try it out) Anyway, one Kindle fire had this happen.......my daughter dropped it and broke the screen. She called Amazon and they sent her a new one, mind you.....she dropped it and told them that she dropped it. They said no problem, we will send you a new one....just be sure to send the old one back within 30 days, which we did.
Another Kindle Fire, just died after several months. Called Amazon and they said, no problem we'll send you a new one.....two days later it arrived and I used the box to send the defective one back to them in.
I should have stuck with the great service from Amazon (lesson learned) .....anyway, now I will attempt to return the A2109 to the store where I bought it next week and get my money back to buy the 8.9" Kindle Fire. Barring that, I suppose I will have to return the Lenovo to the factory and wait the weeks for it to come back eating crow all the while....... I've eaten my share before....just never developed a taste for it.
It just seems that someone should know my experiences and act accordingly if this post shows up to prospective Lenovo buyers through Google searches AND I just needed to voice my frustrations a bit.
To everyone a great and blessed 2013 and thanks for all your informative posts that I found while searching for ways to fix my device.
Key words: Ideatab A2109 A2109A A2109AF 9612A power button dead brick bricked comparison review charge

Was frustrated when I posted this last night so I thought I might add a short review and addendum about what I did like about the A2109 for the seven days that it worked, as well as a few places it seemed to fall short:
Loved the GPS feature, as well as the fact that I could add a memory card, also the HDMI was a great feature. The overall size was perfect if a tad heavy but I will take that any day over light and plastic.
Not being able to remove factory Apps was inconvenient, however I understand that I could have rooted it and performed that task later. .......... Also had a strange screen flicker that was a bit annoying.
Brightness, battery life, ease of use....all excellent.
Also, I'm sure there are tons of users out there who are experiencing no problems and the device is performing flawlessly for them. In fact while my own problems are not enjoyable, they are hardly a surprise, I have had problems with devices before......that's why customer service is so important.

New IE activeX issue: did you charge your clients to make the switch?

Hi all
I am going to update all my sites containing Flash content
and use one of these javascript functions
to generate the embed code, so that Flash plays normally in
IE.
I am wondering if I should notify my clients and charge them
for the change, or if this should be a
"free maintenance" thing.
Did you charge for it? Did you do it free?

as simple as it gets:
First, go there:
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
click on download
in the downloaded folder, find: swfobject.js
that's the only file you need.
Copy this file to your site folder.
Second, in the head of your web pages that contain Flash,
link to the script:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"
src="swfobject.js"></script>
Third, in the same pages, replace any Flash embed code,
typically something like this:
<object classid="clsid
27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0"
width="810" height="570">
<param name="movie" value="movie.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent">
<embed src="movie.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="810"
height="570"></embed>
</object>
with this:
<div id="flashcontent"><script
type="text/javascript">
// <![CDATA[
var fo = new FlashObject("movie.swf", "", "305", "269", "6",
"#FFFFFF");
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
fo.write("flashcontent");
// ]]>
</script></div>
Fourth, replace the values with the ones you need for your
particular flash movie, in this line:
var fo = new FlashObject("movie.swf", "", "305", "269", "6",
"#FFFFFF");
movie.swf = path to your swf file
305 = width of the swf
269 = height
6 = targeted flash player version (latest is 8)
#FFFFFF = background color
Last, if this is a drop-down flash menu or any flash content
that might go OVER or UNDER some html
content, you will want to add one parameter:
fo.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
just before
fo.write("flashcontent");

Internet/Router issues and new "secure email"

I'm supposed to have a 35MPS internet plan. When I switched to the higher speed plan, I paid for the Verizon router and installation. I have both a Mac and Windows 7 Laptops as well as an older netbook. To say that the wireless connectivity sucks would be complimentary. I've used the automatic troubleshooter....I've looked through forums and followed advice on settings etc...with no joy. Before I "upgraded" I had my own belkin n router. Even though the router is downstairs in an office , with the belkin, I could connect on my back deck and all but the furthest upstairs rooms in the house. Since I "upgraded" the wireless won't stay connected with line of sight 8 feet from the router so we have cables trailing thru the living room. For the brief moments when wireless is connected it is slower than dial-up. The cabled connection seldom exceeds 10MBPS ( this is where they tell me the plan is "up to" 35MBPS")
We have a mountain home with DSL and a VERY basic wireless router. Both the Mac and PC connect effortlessly and even my very untechsavvy wife mentioned how much faster the 3MPBS DSL service is than FIOS. Her next question "Tell me again why are we paying so much for FIOS?"
The latest debacle (forget that companies choose to not learn from others mistakes, think Netflix here) is the new secure email settings. I updated my Mac and my android in strict compliance with the Verizon directions and for a few minutes all was well. Today I can't connect through my android. An "authentication error receiving" message show up with a note to check my settings only I HAVEN"T CHANGED MY FLIPPING SETTINGS! Now I have to go in and re-enter my account password several times a day to get into my email account when the PW is stored in my phone! I consantly have to rest the Mac as well. (Hmmm no yahoo, gmail issues and they are free....)
To be fair I haven't called in the issue with the wireless connectivity because I have called before on other issues and frankly I don't have the time to wait on hold. The last time I had a "technical problem" with my service I ended up telling the tier 2 tech how to fix the problem.
As a Quality Assurance /Customer Service professional, the one thing I can tell Verizon is that there is no marketing campaign that will overcome word of mouth reports on poor service and response. I installed FIOS years ago when it was first available in my neighborhood. Service was reliable, customer service responsive and capable. That all seems to have gone by the wayside to improve the bottom line. Volume can go a long way to masking attrition for quite a while, but it isn't sustainable. The cable companies in my area have an even worse reputation which is the only reason I've not yet left...and that's a really crappy reason to stay.
I understand that it's the processes and the system which are hosed up. The poor CS reps are customer facing and they take it on the chin for every corporate decision viewed as stupid by customers. There may be a few really bad customer service reps, but the majority of CS reps DON’T come to work to see how many customers they can **bleep** off. CS Reps are only as good as the process under which they must work. When working with organizations and speaking with CS reps one question I always ask is "How long would you put up with what you put out if you were dealing with another company?" Then I suggest that the leaders/managers attempt to call in with a problem using only the same avenues available to paying customers.
Companies should also must realize that the "cancellation fee" they threaten people with is usually about a month and a half worth of service. After that it's money back in the consumers pocket, or more likely into competitions pocket and not in Verizon’s pocket. It’s the principle of the fee that keeps customers hanging on.
Now that I’ve vented if anyone can tell me a better router to use than the one Verizon gave me, I’m all ears. I really don’t care about remote accessing my DVR.

Since you already have the Belkin and know that it works well, I would suggest hooking that up to the Verizon-supplied router and using that. Turn off the wireless from the Verizon router.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.

Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

I have registered a credit card for purchasing apps from the app store. My bank has issued a new chip based card and now the 16 digit numbers have changed. How do I register the new card for flowless purchases?

Go to Apple Menu > App Store > View my account > sign in and then edit the payment details with the new card details.
I am assuming that your card and supporting bank are in the same country as your residential (billing) address and that you are using the App Store of that country.

Triple-click the line below to select it:

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

When I create a new project in iMovie and drop clips into it, it plays the first one and then quits right near the end of the second clip. I have re-started my computer, tried a new project etc, and no luck, does anyone know how to fix this issue?

This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
(PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)
