OMG, When Did This Happen?

Okay, lemme just say right now that what has me so fired up is that my lappy (2 GHz AMD Sempron single core, 512 MB RAM) is running KDE 4. Responsively. I never thought that would be possible.
That said, was memory usage in KDE 4 really trimmed that much? htop shows... 266 MB RAM in use (by userspace applications) and 103 MB swap in use. I'm typing this post in Firefox, while Filezilla is transferring my 14 GB music library (I just did a new installation, so I have to get my music library from my arch desktop), pacman is downloading several hundred megabytes of Sauerbraten, and Amarok is playing some of the songs that Filezilla already transferred. The only thing remotely slow is my wireless connection (which is a BCM4312 that I was able to set up with only one trip to a working Arch box to get the firmware).
Will this slowly slow down, or will I always be able to get away with running KDE 4? I know it'll bog down when running Eclipse, but then again, the aforementioned working Arch box (with a 2.4 GHz dual core processor and 4GB RAM) bogs down while running Eclipse. OpenOffice is alwaysa bit slow too.

512 is easily enough to run kde4 fluently. And yes, kde4 *should* be lighter than kde3 was, even if the installation itself is larger.

Apple says my batteries already been replaced? When did this happen

MMy phone falls in the sept12 to 13 period and should get a new battery, as this one has to be charged 3 times a day. I put my serial number in and says that I've already had a battery replaced? When did this happen, as my phones never been anywhere on its own...?

You may need to take your proof of purchase and travel to an Apple Store
with Genius bar, or Authorized Apple Service Provider, or Specialist reseller.
You could ask and get results in person, or with an appointment at a Genius
bar in an Apple Store so equipped; but the issue may need escalation.

Perhaps the product was new enough to be fitted with later version of the battery
in question and may not have been one of those devices with the related issue(?)
If you bought the device from an Apple Store, contact them. You may be able to
find the production date of the item, and backtrack to find out more information..
As this is a user-to-user discussions community, the topic is beyond the database
and so in my opinion, you should try another avenue and hopefully find resolution.
Would be curious to know how they'd figure your phone wasn't among those
with the battery issue in question; unless it was retro-fitted prior to retail sale.
Good luck & happy computing!

Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 7 64 bit.....
It sounds to me that you have a player problem or a disc problem and not a burn software problem.
What players are involved - computer players (which ones) or DVD player standalone or attached to a TV or other?
As for the DVD-R discs, I am not taking that out of the problem equation. If you take one of these DVD-R discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, do you find an OpenDVD Folder and a VIDEO_TS Folder? If so, if you open the VIDEO_TS Folder, can you find a VTS_01_1.VOB file and play it back on the computer
If you do that same thing with one of the DVD-RW discs from the Premiere Elements 10 burn to DVD disc and explore it, what do you find?
How long have you had the DVD-R discs in comparison to the DVD-RW discs? You mentioned that you did all this successfully a couple of years ago, and everything was the same then as now. Did you have these batches of discs then as opposed to now? Are the players the same then and now?
Burn to Folder (4.7 GB) is always an option. But, I would like to see you have the opportunity of choice for to burn to disc or burn to folder.
Looking forward to your results.
Thanks.

My macbook pro 2.0 early 2011 will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

Alo, my Macbook pro i7 2 GHz Intel Core i7 (early 2011) will not go to sleep with the power source connected. only enters sleep mode when running on battery. Someone did this happen, and it could solve?

There is no output from that command line? Maybe the pid changed.
I'll repeat what I am trying to find out...
1. You do a pmset -g on the terminal.
2. The output from that pmset should have a line that says "sleep 0 (imposed by n)" where n is some number.
3. The ps ax | grep n is supposed to display what the process associated with n is.
It's the output from step 3 that should indicate what is causing you not to sleep.
But speaking of sleep, that's where I am going.

I have my ipad notes linked to gmail and suddenly disappeared when I put the sim card into a new iphone, the funny thing is that almost all disappeared except 4 and with different dates up to two years. Why did this happen? No way to recover them?

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

I got an Itunes card and when I loaded it itunes downloaded an album that I did not order; so my question is how did this happen and how do I find out how much this album costs cause I would like to get my money back.

My wife got me an iTunes card today and as soon as I redeemed it a music album that I did not order downloaded and deducted the cost from my iTunes card. I did this happen and how can I get my money back? I do not listen to the type of music that was downloaded and feel like I was robbed in a way cause the only way things are suppose to download is if I click on them and enter my password. Please let me know if there is anything I can do and am I the only person this has happened to?
Thank you

Thank you Niel,
My wife loaded her ITunes card right after I loaded mine and the album did not and still has not loaded onto her phone so we think it could be in my settings we are going to check into that but I did have money removed my account so thank you for the link to the form.

HT202058 iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.

So if the solution recommended by Ralph is not working then the other option is this:
Please make sure that the emails work correctly when signed into, on a computer
Then delete the account off your phone - you will not lose the emails
Reset the phone
Re add the account back in and see if that helps the issue
Thanks

Why did this happens to my pictures?

When i save a picture from the internet to camera roll it appears on the top of it like if it was the first photo i took, but it isnt. What did this happens? And, how to fix it?

Hello Jose,
I suggest steps 1, 3, and 5 of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/.
If you get to step 3, I recommend closing ALL the apps.
Here is step 1 to get you started.
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
All the best,
Sterling

I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

I recently saved my contacts in iCloud and now all of my contacts are on my daughters phone. I only wanted them saved to my PC. Why did this happen and how can I fix it? Is it because she downloaded the update to her phone?

Your daughter must have signed into your iCloud account, perhaps when she updated her phone. You can confirm this by going to Settings>iClloud on her phone and seeing if she is using the same iCloud ID.
To fix this you would need to migrate her phone to a separate iCloud account. To do this, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your phone to her camera roll by opening her my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tapping the share icon (box with upware pointing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.
Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and provide the password when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone. This only deletes the account from her phone, not from iCloud; it won't effect your device(s). When you delete the account you will be asked if you want to keep or delete the iCloud data from her phone. If she needs to migrate a copy of the data to her new account, choose Keep; otherwise, choose Delete. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and if migrating data to the new account, choose Merge when prompted.
Once she is on a separate account, if she migrated a copy of the data to her new account you can go to icloud.com from your computer, sign into her new iCloud account and delete your data from her account.

My apple password stopped working this morning and I had to reset it. Why did this happen?

When I got up this morning my apple password no longer worked and I had to reset it. Why did this happen? Do I need to be worried about my account being compromised?

Only other users here. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here. We have no idea about why the password stopped working.

I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?

I resaved a draft email in yahoo mail on my ipod touch and it just disappeared - how do I get it back? And why did this happen?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

TS1717 unes, i have windows 8, i get the message, "the itunes Library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file. how did this happen, how do i fix this?

the message"The itun, library .itl file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file". i have windows 8. how why did this happen? how do i correct this and prevent another occurance? I am able to access itunes on my i5, ipad, and my old i4 that i use solely as my ipod now. At the time problem occurred, i was connected to ext hard drive that hold over 190GB music, to add to my library. I am now unable to add to my library using my laptop. any advise/help is greatly appreciated!!

I just had the same problem and was able to fix it after trying a couple of things I found after a search.
The solution that worked for me:
Find iTunes folder - it should be in C:\Program FIles (x86) or similar depending on your operating system
Right click the entire folder (no need to open it) and click properties
Click the security tab
Click edit and highlight the user name under which you logged in.
Click the box next to full in the allow column, which should check everything
Click apply
Open iTunes
This worked for me.

In IOS 7.0.3, it no longer lets me use non-apple charging cords. Did this happen to everyone?

The fix is to log into your current account. Go to appleid.apple.com and change the primary email and apple id back to the old email address (doesn't matter if you have it any longer). Once the change is made, then enter your password for that account on the device. Once you get in, go ahead and go back to appleid.apple.com and change it back. That fixed mine.
need to edit this to clarify a bit
