Odd region edit behavior

Hi all,
I encountering a small issue in Logic Pro 8.0.2.
I record an audio track maybe 4 bars. After listening I decide I only want the second two bars. I used to be able to (in express 7.2) just drag the file to the beginning of the 3rd bar and that would be that. Now what happens is that the entire file moves and when I let go of the mouse the file snaps back to it's original position.
At the same time that the file "snaps" back into place, the mixer window that is on my second monitor changes to a different view of my fader, instead of mirroring my edit window plus sends and main outs it shows only the faders that relate to the track I am trying to edit.
In short the only way to remove the first two bars of my edit is to use scissors tool and delete the region.
I know this must be a simple case of a setting some where, but what and where?
Thank you in advance for any help and clues,
Jay

Thanks for the heads up,
Thats what I thought at first and I wish it was but unfortunately the [ is present when I try to do this in Logic.
Most perplexing,
Any other ideas very welcome,
Thanks again,
Jay

Odd Calc Order Behavior

Hello all,
I've put together a hybrid analysis cube and I'm experiencing some odd calc order behavior. It appears the years are calculating backwards.
I load my 2007 end balances and calc forward three years. 2008 is correct, but 2009 and 2010 are incorrect. They are incorrect inasmuch as the calcs that require 2008/2009 end balances are incorrect. So I run the script again and now 2009 is right, but 2010 is incorrect. Then I run it once more and 2010 is correct.
It appears the end balances for 2008 and 2009 aren't available for 2009 and 2010, respectively. Thus, I think 2010 is calcing first, but with no 2009 end bals, so it's off. Then 2009 goes, again no end bals, so it's off. Then 2008 calcs, and since 2007 end bals are in there, it's calcing correctly. Thus, I have to calc again two times for 2009 and 2010 to be correct.
Here's my script:
Fix (@IRSiblings("2008"),"ScenarioMbr")
CALC ALL EXCEPT DIM("Years","Scenario");
Endfix
ScenarioMbr is a level 0 descendant of the Scenario dimension.
Thanks for any help anyone has.

I would suggest checking on your outline order. It sounds like your ending balance hasn't been calculated by the time the beginning balance needs it (as evidenced by your three passes). The order of members in your FIX statement has no bearing on the calculation order. By this, I mean make sure that your Years dimension is ordered as follows...
Years
+ 2007
+ 2008
+ 2009
+ 2010
Also, make sure that your periods (where your months are is, assuming it is a different dimension) is located above your Years dimension.
Lastly, how are you facilitating getting your Ending balances into your Beginning balances? Sometimes the sequencing for this type of work is improtant as well. For example, if your Ending Balance is a two-pass, it will not be ready until a second pass is done.
IF this doesn't help, maybe provide one of the BegBal members that isn't working, your outline order, the order of the Years dimension, and the dense/sparse settings (assuming BSO).
Good Luck!!

Odd Junk Mail Behavior

I've been experiencing odd Junk Mail behavior on my Mac; I've got the Mail app set so it puts the emails it thinks is Junk in the Junk folder. I do this because I've noticed that certain legitimate emails keep ending up in the Junk folder automatically.
I've also noticed that some of the emails in the Junk folder have not actually been flagged as Junk Mail, they were not colored brown by the Junk Mail rule and there is no button available to tell Mail it's not Junk. How do I stop Mail from flagging something as Junk when it doesn't seem to tag it as Junk but it still ends up in the Junk folder?
I see emails tagged as Junk in the Junk folder that are legit, so I click the "Not Junk" button and move them back to the proper mail folder. But the next time I get mail from the same source, it gets flagged and tagged as Junk again. I thought the Mail app learns from the training we give it. How do I resolve this situation?
I've already set the Junk filtering to not filter emails from recipients who are in my Address Book.

Either you’ve messed with the Preferences > Junk Mail > Advanced settings, or those settings have become corrupt, or you have one or more rules that have a bearing on this.
Assuming it isn’t the latter, try this:
1. Go to Preferences > Junk Mail, disable junk mail filtering, then enable it again. This resets the rule that governs what the junk filter does.
2. Choose either Training or Automatic mode (it doesn’t matter) and leave the other options checked. Click Advanced to see how the junk filter rule is defined now if you want, but don’t touch anything there.
3. Reset the junk filter database (Preferences > Junk Mail > Reset).

How to make regions editable in fluid grid template in 2014.1.1 in LIVE view - can't open the template editable selection panel

I am teaching a course in Dreamweaver 2014.1.1
We are setting up templates in fluid grids.
We need to make regions editable.
The LIVE view replaced the DESIGN view and does not have certain options accessible anymore.
I can't find the command to access the dropdown panel to make a region editable.
The Template tab at top, and the make editable options subtab, will not come open in fluid grid template mode.
Does anyone have a way to do this?

I was under the impression that the February update (2014.1.1) released a few days ago had fixed these problems. I urge you to file an official bug report below.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
My advice for now is to stay away from Fluid Grid Layouts. But if that's not an option, I'll show you a trick for getting Design View back. Open the Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This tricks DW into thinking it's a normal layout.
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Once saved, you should see Design View as an option.

Help with repeating region server behavior

Using instructions in David Powers' book, I've been able to connect to a PHP database and list records in a table using the repeating region server behavior.
I now have a table like the following example:
Header 1
Header 2
Album
Image
Birds
Bald Eagle
Birds
Great Egret
Birds
Meadowlark
Butterflies
American Lady
Butterflies
Common Buckeye
Butterflies
Monarch
Mammals
Deer
Mammals
Flying Squirrel
Mammals
Raccoon
etc.
etc.
Is there a way to make the table like the following?
Header 1
Header 2
Album
Image
Birds
Bald Eagle
Great Egret
Meadowlark
Butterflies
American Lady
Common Buckeye
Monarch
Mammals
Deer
Flying Squirrel
Raccoon
etc.
etc.
Thank you for helping a novice with this.

Locked Regions & Server Behaviors

Hi:
Any help to resolve this problem
making this change would require changing code that is locked
by a template or a translator
I use templates in all of my projects along with server
behaviors, and i frequently get this error.
I have worked around this by adding necessary recordset
behaviors before applying template but sometimes you don't know
always what you would be requiring at the end and even if i do know
the Recordset pagination invokes this error which I actually use
after applying template to my page.
Sometimes i would apply a recordset in a temporary file and
will copy the pertinent code from there to the page i am working
on.
I want an efficient approach to use server behaviors without
any conflict with templates. I usually have simple templates with a
single editable field for recordset display.
Is it something wrong with the way I am creating template or
what should be the approach to avoid this error. Further sometimes
I do have server behaviors inside templates (not always).
P.S. Post earlier to General Category but I believe this is
the right one.

The page validates without adding the SB?
I can see nothing wrong with your markup as posted.

Editable behavior in Contribute

Hi,
I'm using the open browser window behavior to present viewers
with a sized window containing embedded movies. Now, my Contribute
editors use that same behavior over and over again in template
pages. The only thing they need to do is change the link the new
window opens with;
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('anynewmovie.html','','width=720,height=520')"
But how do I accomplish this? Simply wrapping an editable
region around anynewmovie.html does not work. I am sure I'm
overlooking something here but can't find the answer.
Thanks for any insights on this.

Use DW's F1 Help to read about template parameters.
If you had a parameter named "movieURL" defined in the
template page (as a
URL parameter), then you could change your markup like this -
onclick="MM_openBrWindow('@@(movieURL)@@','','width=720,height=520')"
(assuming that the width and the height are always the same),
and the
editors would then be able to modify that value at will,
using MODIFY |
Template Properties....
(this will not work if the link to which the behavior is
applied is in an
editable region)

Nexus 5000 - Odd Ethernet interface behavior (link down inactive)

Hi Guys,
This would sound really trivial but it is very odd behavior.
- We have a server connected to a 2, Nexus 5000s (for resiliancy)
- When there is no config on the ethernet interfaces whatsoever, the ethernet interface is UP / UP, there is minimal amount of traffic on the link etc. E.g.
Ethernet1/16 is up
Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 000d.ece7.85d7 (bia 000d.ece7.85d7)
Description: shipley-p1.its RK14/A13

Encapsulation ARPA
Port mode is access
full-duplex, 10 Gb/s, media type is 1/10g
Beacon is turned off
Input flow-control is off, output flow-control is off
Rate mode is dedicated
Switchport monitor is off
Last link flapped 00:00:07
Last clearing of "show interface" counters 05:42:32
30 seconds input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec
30 seconds output rate 96 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

    0 unicast packets 0 multicast packets 0 broadcast packets
    0 input packets 0 bytes
    0 jumbo packets 0 storm suppression packets
    0 runts 0 giants 0 CRC 0 no buffer

    0 jumbo packets
    0 output errors 0 collision 0 deferred 0 late collision
    0 lost carrier 0 no carrier 0 babble
    0 Tx pause
1 interface resets
- As soon as I configure the link to be an access port, the link goes down, flagging "inactivity" E.g.
sh int e1/16
Ethernet1/16 is down (inactive)
Hardware: 1000/10000 Ethernet, address: 000d.ece7.85d7 (bia 000d.ece7.85d7)

    0 jumbo packets
    0 output errors 0 collision 0 deferred 0 late collision
    0 lost carrier 0 no carrier 0 babble
    0 Tx pause
0 interface resets
- This behavior is seen on both 5Ks
- I've tried using a different set of ports, changed SFPs, and fibre cabling to no avail
- I can't seem to understand this behavior?! In that, why would configuring the port cause the link to go down?
- If anyone has experience this before, or could shed some light on this behavior, it would be appreciated.

I had identical issue
Two interfaces on two different FEXes were INACTIVE. I have two Nexus 5596 in vPC and A/A FEXes.
I also use config-sync feature.
Very same configuration was applied to other ports on other FEXes and they were working with no problems.
interface Ethernet119/1/1
inherit port-profile PP-Exchange2003
I checked VLAN status associated with this profile and it was active (of course it was, other ports were ok).
I solved it by removing port profile from this port and re-applied it... voila, port changed state to up!
Very very strange.

Odd Reconnecting Media Behavior

Apologies, one more question. When I use the "Reconnect Media" option in the browser to have an image or clip point to a different file, that change is not reflecting in FCP, the Viewer, Canvas and Timeline are all still showing the old file. What is odd is when I use the "Reveal In Finder" option is the image/clip is pointing to the new file. So it looks like the change of the file is applied, but it is not showing in FCP. Why would FCP show the old file, but both "Reconnect Media" and "Reveal In Finder" be pointing to the new file.
As always, thanks!
lance

I have actually had this happen on my system a couple of times. Since upgrading to FCP7, haven't seen it. It was an intermittent thing that I never completely diagnosed.
My solution was to rename the new file slightly (Map.pct to MapX.pct) and then drag the newly renamed file from the finder into the bin. Click on the new clip in the bin, hit command C to copy it. Then click on the clip you want to replace in the timeline, hit option V and deselect everything but content, and paste the new content in. You now have your new clip into the sequence without disturbing anything.
This is/was not a solution to the problem, but rather a way to keep the edit going.
Good luck!

Odd/Limited Mouse Behavior

I have an intermittent problem with my mouse behavior in 10.6. Actually, I'm pretty sure I had the same problem in 10.5, it's just a fiendishly intermittent problem that has an as yet undetermined cause & solution. All I know is that it occasionally occurs and eventually resolves itself.
What happens is that I can still click things, scroll, right click to open a more extensive menu, etc., but certain ancillary (yet surprisingly critical) functionality stops working for a time.
For example, hovering my mouse over a link in Safari does not turn the pointer into a "hand with an extended index finger" or does not cause embedded pop up messages to appear (on sites I'm familiar with, no less, so I know they have them). On my Safari browser tabs, the 'x' to close individual tabs does not appear unless I first click on a tab once, and it closes when I click it a second time.
In menus - anywhere, not just in Safari - clicking on File or Edit or View opens the window, but selections do not highlight and track my mouse movements the way they normally do. This makes submenus impossible to use without clicking and holding once I reach the submenu I want to open, and releasing the click when I reach the option I want to select.
The Dock, which I have set to Show/Hide based on my mouse movements, will not pop up when I move my mouse all the way to the bottom of the screen. If I click my mouse once while the pointer is essentially invisible (being at the extreme bottom of the screen), the Dock will sometimes appear, but not always. When it does appear, the icons in the dock do not enlarge/magnify based on my lateral mouse movements the way they normally do.
In iTunes, when I'm watching a TV show or movie in full screen mode, the controller does not appear when I move my mouse the way it normally does.
And so on.
I have never found a working remedy for this affliction, I usually just have to ride it out, i.e., I deal with the limited functionality until something decides to work right again. I have reset my mouse (it's a wireless Logitech mouse with five buttons, including the scroll wheel, but I had a wired mouse way back in Leopard), I have restarted my Mac, reset Safari, reset my System Preferences, repaired Disk Permissions, I have even junked the entire Preferences folder and restarted. I have also switched to different mice, but they have the same problem while the problem is occurring.
I don't believe this is a settings issue, I think it has something to do with Java or something, which occasionally goes on a holiday.
If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them. I've been enduring the issue the last day and a half and this is the longest it's ever lasted without correcting itself.

Check for any dust in the LED hole. Try using a plain surface, like a solid colored mouse pad, if the surface is on the shiny side. If that does not work...
Try starting up from Mac OS X installation disc. If the mouse is also erratic when booted from another system, you can rule out the 10.5.3 update as the cause.
If it works normally when you are booted from the installation disc, there is probably some issue with your current installation.

Odd keyboard shift behavior

Just recently I have ran into an odd problem with my keyboard. I have a macbook pro 3,1. All my keys work individually, but when I go to shift and make any of the letters "q,w,e,r,t,y,u,i, or o," capital letters it will not let me. Any quick fixes? My other shift key will allow it, its just the left shift that acts weird. Thanks!

Hey John,
Well what seemed to be solved now isn't. I continue to have the problem and I've figured out how to reproduce it:
Open an HTML file.
Open a CSS file in a separate tab.
Edit something in either file, then switch to the other one.
Hold down the <Shift> key and press the right or left <Arrorw> key to highlight a line.
The entire document will be highlighted and you will be unable to scroll up or down without highlighting the document. It doesn't seem to happen on XP anymore, but it does on Vista, and Windows 7.
Thanks for working out the details and reporting it here. I have fixed that bug for the next release. From what I remember, the edits in Step #3 have to be done in a particular order to cause the problem.
Here are a couple ways to workaround it:
1. If you want the CSS files in a separate Tab, then you may want to disable the Related Files feature in Preferences > General
2. I think it depends on how you switch from 1 file to the other, and clicking with the mouse in the file you want to have the focus resets the focus.
Sorry for the inconvenience,

Odd Port 139 Behavior

Hi everyone,
I've been running in to some trouble with my university's IT department. They say that my Mac Mini (1.66GHz CoreDuo) has times when it's trying to connect to something via port 139 (netbios-ssn). They claim that it averages over 1 attempt per second. However, in all of my snooping, using Activity Monitor, Network Utility, and Little Snitch, I've never noticed anything odd. I do admit that I might not be observing it at the correct times, but I would like to get to the bottom of this. Currently my IT department has my computer "quarantined" and won't authorize it to access the network again until I can sort this out.
Have any of you heard of something like this before (the 139 connection attempts)?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave DeLong

At least for me, anytime I use a file dialog I get a message from little snitch telling me that it's trying to connect to port 139 - so any time I try to open or save a document, etc. Little Snitch tells me that the program I'm using is trying to connect via port 139.
Same for when I try to choose a network printer.
The snitch tells me about connect attempts over port 139 quite often, but not once per second.
Finder is doubtless doing its own queries to "discover" what's out there on the network.
I have a hard time believing it's even an issue, as every Mac, Linux, and Unix box that tries to connect to the windows shares on the network are going to have similar behavior. The Engineering department alone would be *+up in arms+* over such a policy. **** hath no fury like a few dozen EE students whose computers are banned.
First because it's asinine - a connection attempt over port 139 is fairly innocent; you have to discover what's on the CIFS/SMB (ie. Windows shares) network somehow. Pretty much every non-Microsoft device (including Macs) that can access Windows shares uses "samba", which can be set to periodically ping the network to discover shares on the network. The whole point is so things "plug and play" without the IT manager having to do anything.
SMB/CIFS is a very chatty protocol to begin with...

Odd battery/charge behavior

Something odd happened today with my MBP (2011)... I'm working away with it while it's plugged into power and all of a sudden it starts charging... but I never unplugged it or lost power or anything (and it's on a mondo UPS anyway).
It's been showing 98% instead of 100%, but showing "fully charged" with a green light and from reading the articles from Apple this is totally normal. I did manage to get it to show 100% after a SMC reset, but after a subsequent reboot it went back to 98%. Anyway, it actually looks like it's going to charge to 100% now (99% and still showing orange light).
Has anyone seen this behavior? Normal? Something to consider going to Apple store about?
Thanks.

I understand the system will charge when it needs to, but in all my days with MacBook's and the like I've never seen one up and start charging AFTER being plugged in for several days and without any provocation (i.e. unplugging it for a few minutes).
My battery info all looks really good and the condition says "normal" so as long as "normal" is the same as "good" then it's probably fine. Still odd, but fine.

Odd Smart Mailbox Behavior

I receive a lot of mail with attachments so I created a Smart Mailbox with the following conditions -- ALL must be met:
1. Contains Attachments
2. Date Received is not in the last 2 weeks
My goal is to keep my mail intact for 2 weeks, and then delete the attachments so I can save disk space.
The Smart Mailbox works but not as I expected. I would assume that every day there would be at least one message that meets the conditions since I receive at least one attachment per day. What actually occurs is that the Smart Mailbox only shows mail every two weeks but some of the messages are older than two weeks -- as old as four weeks. The behavior seems odd to me.
Any suggestions?
Mac OS X (10.4.3)

If it's "not in the last 2 weeks" then it'll show messages older than the last 2 weeks. Do you want to show messages that are 2 weeks old? If yes, then change "not in the last 2 weeks" to "is exactly 2 weeks".

Odd file move behavior

On my startup disk, I have a movie file (.mov) and a folder I want to collect movies in. Straightforward enough.
So I click/drag the .mov file onto the folder. It shows me the green + icon, and when I let go, it COPIES the file into the folder, not by simply MOVING the file from the disktop to the folder. Wha?
When I grab that same file in the folder and move it to the disktop, it works as expected, insisting that it must be DUPLICATED, replacing the disktop, original file.
OK. So instead of doing that, I decide to trash the original file, then move the version out of the folder and back to the disktop.
In order to do that, I use the contextual menu that drops down with Control+mouse click. It now asks me for my administrator password to do the trash move. (???)
Once the original has been tossed, the file will now move from folder to disktop and back to folder with complete impunity. But if I try this with another .mov file, the process starts all over again.
No extra key combo during the original move gets rid of the + icon.
Permissions were repaired. No change.
Log off was cycled, no change.
Obviously somehow this disk has picked up wierdness when Leopard replaced well-tempered Tiger on it, but where is the checkbox that dumps this odd behavior?
No Right-click on the mighty mouse will bring down the contextual menu at all.

Yea! The Mac is back on track!
It took extra innings and a visit to 1 800 APL CARE to get to the bottom of it, but this therapy should be on everyone's A-list: The Install disk's version of Disk Utility is significantly different from any version you can install on your hard drives. Or so it would appear.
Where the Disk Utility can be there for you on two different hard drives connected to the same computer, running it from different drives is not at all the same - in visible results - as running it directly from the OS X Install Disk.
You can have several disks with OS X on them and run Disk Utility on your main startup disk from those, but they won't find all the messy permissions that are gumming up your system.
It took yet another previous back up Restore cycle, an extra clean install, followed immediately by an Install Disk run of Disk Utility's First Aid/Repair Disk Permissions to clear the cobwebs. Frequent re-weedings (after any program installs or upgrades from anybody, including Apple's own) finds more things to fix. Not always, but frequently.
The Install Disk's Disk Utility--it's not just for breakfast any more.
