OT:  What the heck is going on with the forums?

Right now I see "clearspace community" where the Adobe logo was, the window width is wide (as I've wanted for a long time) and the page at http://forums.adobe.com/index.jspa is garbled!

How about giving us a clue, Adobe?

Back to normal here again but was funny for a bit as per the OP earlier today.

  • What the heck is going on with TV Shows?

    Wow the descriptions of the shows are non-existant before you buy them, are listed as "albums" (bug?) and what the heck is going on with shows taking forever to make it to iTunes after they air??? It's killing the experience for me... three days to a week? Who's messing up, ALL the networks or Apple?

    All I can tell you is Apple is dependent on the networks to provide the files. If the network isn't prompt in providing said files, there is not a lot Apple can do.

  • Grrrrr..... What on earth is going on with the quicktime convert to mp4?

    What on earth is going on with MP4 / quicktime?
    To convert an avi. file to mp4 is taking as long as it takes to watch the entire movie!
    I am converting a movie from avi. over to mp4 using the ($44) upgrade facility on quicktime and it is taking the length of the entire movie to convert it over?
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks in advance
    Cheers

    Rob,
    That's about right. It won't be sudden, but it would be nice! Two hours is pretty good. You won't get much faster than that.

  • OMG! ..what on Earth is going on with Version?

    OMG!!! ...I've never experienced anything like this in my 49 yrs dealing with customer service.
    I will try and make this as quick and least painful to read.
    First, I'm a recently returning customer after leaving Verizon for over ten years.
    My wife works from home so I needed the caller ID to reflect her name not mine so she called to have it changed. What Verizon did was cut my services for a full day to transfer the account to her name. Why they had to go this route to simply change the caller ID name is beyond me. Anyway, we got our services back and were happy to put that frustration behind us.
    Little did I know this was just the start of the worst business dealing with a service provider in my life. Apparently there was a small balance of $51.43 left in the old account. I paid that balance in full. However, that balance was transferred to my new account despite it being paid.
    Guess what? ...they cut my services because of that same $51.43. Okay, at this point I'm a little angry but sure that once I point out the billing error this problem would go away. After spending 45 minutes on the phone with billing they told me they transffered the paid balance from the old account to the new account and all should be good.
    Guess what? ...they cut my services again because of the same $51.43. (right in the middle of watching a Verizon rented movie) At this point, I'm beyond a little frustrated . I had to pay the same $51.43 to get my services restored until I could call during business hours. After another 45 minutes on the phone with billing, they refunded my $51.43 and assured me this issue would go away.
    Guess what? ...they add the same $51.43 back on to my bill and start sending me past due notices.
    At this point, I'm ready to through in the towel and switch services. I contacted billing again and asked to speak to a supervisor. After being on hold for 20 minutes, I spoke to a supervisor named Ashley. She was very nasty and did not care two cents about my issues and said I needed to speak to the accounting department. She put me back on hold and when I got to the accounting department she said I had to resolve the issue with the billing department. Are you kidding me???
    When I refused to be transferred back to billing she said that she would have her supervisor contact me. I'm not holding my breath that they will call me back. 
    What am I to do? Will this issue ever go away? How can a service provider be so horrible to deal with, and why can't they fix such a simple error?
    I have recorded every single phone conversation with customer service. If they don't get back with me and resolve this issue once and for all I will be switching services.
    Again ...OMG!!! ...what on Earth is going on with Verison and their customer service?

  • What the heck is going on with my Virtual Memory??!!

    I'm not really sure why but when I check activity monitor and see my VM it says i'm using anywhere from 230-270 gigs of virtual memory. This is literally fresh out of restart when it says this much and never changes. I go through and check every process I see runing and create a quick estimate of the virtual memory being used, and it's definitely not over 10 gigs if even 5; honestly I think it's listing between 1-2.
    What the heck could be causing this? Verified HD and came up clean. Should I be concerned? I'm not gonna lie this macbook isn't running the best it used to be. Watching videos, whether mp4, mkv, youtube, is pretty laggy. I'm aways sure to close all other processes to to try and maximize video performance, not that it helps much. I'm considering a fresh install and recovery via timemachine.

  • What the heck is going on with my CODE?

    Ok.. so the program encrypts and decrypts text files.. you input the paths for which file to read and where to export it to..
    the encrypt code and decrypt code is EXACTLY the same only like ONE line of code is different.. the difference was one had "encrypt()" the other had "decrypt()"
    I changed it back to the original "encrypt()" and it worked fine.. which doesnt make any sense because the encrypt() and decrypt() methods are exactly the same only one encrypts the stuff while the other decrypts..
    This is what the ActionListener looks like:
    String command = group.getSelection().getActionCommand();
              String tempString = inputTimes.getText();
              File inputPath = new File(inputFile.getText());
              File outputPath = new File(outputFile.getText());
              if(inputPath.isAbsolute())
                   if(inputPath.exists())
                        if(inputPath.isFile())
                             if(outputPath.isAbsolute())
                                  if(!outputPath.exists())
                                       try{
                                            outputPath.createNewFile();
                                            FileWriter writeFile = new FileWriter(outputPath);
                                            if(tempString.length() == 0)
                                                 String theText = readFile(inputPath);
                                                 writeFile.write(dataTool.encrypt(theText, "1", command), 0, theText.length());
                                                 outputFileStatis.setText("Success");
                                                 writeFile.close();
                                            else
                                                 String theText = readFile(inputPath);
                                                 writeFile.write(dataTool.encrypt(theText, tempString.substring(0), command), 0, theText.length());
                                                 outputFileStatis.setText("Success");
                                                 writeFile.close();
                                       } catch(IOException e) {
                                            System.out.println(e);
                                  else
                                       outputFileStatis.setText("Failed: Cannot overwrite files");
                             else
                                  outputFileStatis.setText("Failed: Path's not absolute");
                        else
                             outputFileStatis.setText("Failed: Cannot encrypt directories");
                   else
                        outputFileStatis.setText("Failed: File does not exist");
              else
                   outputFileStatis.setText("Failed: Path's not absolute");
    And then the method readFile() which is used in the above code:
    public static String readFile(File f) throws IOException
              StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(f));
              String line = "";
              while((line = in.readLine()) != null) {
              sb.append(line).append(' ');
              in.close();
              return sb.toString();
    So why does it not work when I change the encrypt() part to decrypt() ???

    ok.. so..
    when the Encrypt File button is pressed it runs this part if it passes the IF statements:
    try{
                                            outputPath.createNewFile();
                                            FileWriter writeFile = new FileWriter(outputPath);
                                            if(tempString.length() == 0)
                                                 String theText = readFile(inputPath);
                                                 writeFile.write(dataTool.encrypt(theText, "1", command), 0, theText.length());
                                                 outputFileStatis.setText("Success");
                                                 writeFile.close();
                                            else
                                                 String theText = readFile(inputPath);
                                                 writeFile.write(dataTool.encrypt(theText, tempString.substring(0), command), 0, theText.length());
                                                 outputFileStatis.setText("Success");
                                                 writeFile.close();
                                       } catch(IOException e) {
                                            System.out.println(e);
    which encrypts the text in the file specified to look something like:
    tittemfek2ueehseo2yt2sistdi2s2i2ww2sta2satsfsaoo22r0222e2orrrjr
    then when the decrypt file button is pressed it is supposed to run the same thing only
    encrypt is changed to decrypt
    and it runs the readFile(File) method listed in the first post to read the files.
    it runs the encryption perfectly, but when it decrypts it the command prompt fills with errors and scrolls several times..
    there is no problem with the decrypt method, it has to be the readFile(File) method but I dont know how to fix it..

  • What on earth is going on with my connection?!

    So, Infinity installed and activated on Tuesday (18/10). OR Engineer informed me I was the first to have infinity installed on the Peterborough Central (01733) exchange so whether this has contributed to the problems I am experiencing and about to enlighten you with I do not know but anyway..........
    Day 1 - Installation went a treat. Engineer arrived at 2pm and was gone within the hour. Took my first BT Speedtester test @ 4pm and results were as follows:
    Date                            Download       IP Profile                   Upload            IP Profile
    18/10/2011 16:00       34025 Kbps     38718 Kbps                 7757 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    Internet was used up to around 11pm without any problems before I called it a night.
    Day 2 - Woke up in the morning, turned on PC, opened IE9 and could not browse any pages. Just a blank screen with the little loading icon spinning in the tab at the top of the page. Thought nothing of it, went to work, came home around 7pm, turned on PC, opened IE9 and same again. Could not browse one single page. Phoned BT India, explained all the lights on my HH3/modem were working as they should and both my PC and Hub manager confirmed I was connected to the Internet. We proceeded to reset IE9, done a factory reset on the HH3, even tried my laptop (both wired and wirelsss) to see whether I could browse any pages but none of this worked. India said they would do further checks that night and call me back by 9.30pm. They never did, I accepted defeat and went to bed.
    Day 3 - Woke up around 4am, decided to try IE9 and heaven above, I was able to browse the internet again! Went back to bed, got up, went to work, came home in the evening, turned on PC, opened IE9 and again all was great!!  BT Speedtester tests taken that day were as follows:
    Date                            Download       IP Profile                   Upload            IP Profile
    20/10/2011 04:30       34550 Kbps     38718 Kbps                 8253 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    20/10/2011 19:05       26370 Kbps     38718 Kbps                 8010 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    Day 4 (yesterday) - Turned on PC for first time at around 4:15pm and for the first 3 hours all was great. Then the **** hit the fan again and all of a sudden, whilst pages were loading, they were literally taking minutes. Some simply wouldn't load at all! Phoned India again, was informed I had a fault on my line and an engineer would contact me. BT Speedtester tests taken that day were as follows:
    Date                            Download       IP Profile                   Upload            IP Profile
    21/10/2011 16:40       14462 Kbps     38718 Kbps                 4469 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    *21/10/2011 21:40      579 Kbps        38718 Kbps                 2871 Kbps       10000 Kbps
    *Test taken in the midst of all the troubles.
    Day 5 (today) - OR Engineer arrived at around 8.30am without prior notice. He does a line test and all was ok. He had a text message on his mobile that said I should be receiving the full 40mb down / 10mb up. I turned on PC, opened IE9 and surprise surprise all was working as it should again. Because of this, the OR did not conduct any further checks, said 'if it ain't broken don't fix it' and left! All seemed good until 3.30pm when pages were again becoming painfully slow. I again phoned India who said they'll send another engineer out to me in the morning.  Anyhow, this continued until 11.30pm (40 mins ago as I write this) when everything started to work as it should again!?! BT Speedtester tests taken today were as follows (I could not take any other tests in between as the internet was simply too slow to cope):
    Date                            Download       IP Profile                   Upload            IP Profile

    So what on earth is going on here?! I know it's not the PC, I don't believe it's the equipment (hardware or software).  It's like someone turns a switch on and off as and when they'd like my broadband to work?! I have practically sat at the PC for 8 straight hours trying to load pages to no avail (or at least taking far too long to load) then suddenly out of nowhere, it starts to work as normal again?!
    If it's working in the morning when the engineer arrives what's he going to do? Absolutely nothing! I don't need to be Einstein to know that come the afternoon it'll go down again!
    Has any of you ever experienced anything like this?  Please say you have and if so how on earth did you rectify it (assuming you have)?!
    Any advice/help would be gratefully received.
    Many thanks.
    Paul
    You won't get to ride the racehorse...until you've ridden the mule.... - RogerB 13/04/2010

    Really pleased to hear that mate, even if it isn't really the outcome you wanted.
    Of course it could well be either the HH3, hub or both. Personally, I don't think it is as like I mentioned in my opening post, it's like somebody switches a button on and off as and when they want me to use broadband. Take yesterday for example, from 8.30am-3.30pm the internet was working perfectly. From 3.30pm-11.30pm, I struggled to do any browsing as pages were that slow. From 11.30pm onwards and as I write this at 7.30am, it's working perfectly again.  And I bet you now at some stage this afternoon, it will practically come to a complete standstill again.
    Engineer arriving between 8am-1pm but if it all looks good, what can he do?! I need them to be here when it's not working properly. Given I'm in the 10 day training period, I've tried to use the internet as much as possible as suggested. Perhaps in my case this is having a reverse effect and slowing me down or throttling me instead?!  It has to be something between the exchange and cabinet or a fault at both as the only things that have changed my end are 1. The face plate to the master socket, 2. the HH3, 3. the modem and 4. the cables attached to both and given one minute my broadbans is fine and the next it practically stalls, I think the issue rules out any hardware/software fault.
    But maybe chasing this equipment is worth a try?

  • What's Going On With This Forum? Posted comments wait for a moderator

    They wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
    Whose policy is this to screen everything before allowing posts to show up? Is that a Toshiba policy? What is Toshiba afraid of? If this is a Toshiba policy, I object. I object very strongly. Strongly enough that I'm just about tempted to pack up the mini notebook and ship it back to B&H and buy a different brand where the manufactor doesn't censor the support forum.
    Let's see if this shows up.

    Hello Edmund
    To be honest I don't understand your question. As I can see you have posted 40 times until now.
    Be honest and tell us how often you saw message like this:
    *Please note, your reply will need to be approved by a moderator before it is posted in the forum.*
    Probably first time now. I have noticed that sometimes forum is closed for postings but there must be some reason why moderator do this. At the moment you can write what you want.
    There is no reason for panic or comments about Toshiba policy.
    Every serious forum has own policy and this forum is more than serious. Isnt it?
    So it is nothing unusual and it can be done due to some technical or any other reason.
    Look a little bit what people write here and you will find very critical postings but nothing is blocked or edited by Toshiba so I think this forum is free and democratic. Your posting is also published.
    In my opinion it is the best evidence that your critic and opinion about this forum and Toshiba forum policy is completely unjustified. Do you agree with me?
    Good luck!

  • What the Heck is going on with 10.5.2? . . . Part 1

    Part 2: Is a huge list of all kinds of weirdness that follows this, but . . .
    For the longest time 10.5.2 was flawless and I thought +"I'm home!"+ Then my machine started freezing at sleep and then the Part 2 of things started to happen that I am seeing many others doing through. Then the other day the Energy Control Panel just disappeared. I looked at it earlier in the day and later I was restoring my laptop from a partition on my main machine and wanted to make sure that it didn't go to sleep/freeze during. So I went to the Energy Panel to make sure it was set it to "never" and it was not there. Just Plain Gone. Just earlier I have it set just to make the screens dim and I can make it sleep manually when I know I will be done for a while. So I saw it and it was there. But a restore via TM of the ES PP the screens didn't dim, and the screen saver that is turned off, came on. What!
    This install of 10.5.2 was done so very carefully and more meticulously than any install in my life. Been using Macs since the late 80's. There are just a couple of apps installed that have been there and all worked great for many weeks. Then all of a sudden freezes and then System Prefs Panels start disappearing. What's next . . . . Oh that's Part 2. I need to get this Sleep thing dealt with before I transcribe my notes. But I will. I know, +"Oh, Joy!"+
    I spend more time messing with keeping this thing running now than using it. I have to make a recommendation for a start up organization that has an obscenely large budget and I can spec anything I want. But if this is the way OSX is going to be, I'll go XP. At least all the complications will be expected and potentially addressed.
    Anyone having the same problems or found the culprit? Please no "mines fine comments". Remember this is a place to find fixits, not comments for comments sake.
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated by me personally and Apples Third Quarter Profits.

    That's what this was. A very meticulous virgin reinstall, more so than any other install I have ever done in 18 years. With the worst results of any of them. And then what's the use of TM then? IF you can't recover any file you need. Supposedly the file being from a previous and "cleaner" install, it should be safe and clean. If not and not advisable to pull form, then why TM at all?
    Time Machine is meant to restore your own documents or a full system restore. You are not supposed to replace random parts of the operating system using Time Machine or any other means. You don't know what caused your problems. You don't know if your problems are specific to a specific user on your machine.
    What is the point of doing a meticulous virgin install and then hacking it up?
    It's obvious that there are still major holes in 10.5.x. Of which I am hearing from many third party vendors that I am trying to get updates from. So if they see it, they're there. I am very curious to see how large 10.5.3 will be. I read the list of fixes is quite large and getting larger.
    Does this mean you will do what so many others have done and hope that 10.5.3 is going to magically fix your problems? Guess what - if your machine is flaky, installing an update is only going to make it worse.
    As soon as I can get at least level with the tide, I will post Part 2, I have to sort through my notes, which is a list of all the things that have gone wrong.
    Until then . . . . arm yourselves. I know you'll want to retort.
    Perhaps not. If you're going in and hacking up your machine, it is pointless to try to diagnose problems due to any number of unknown problems you may have caused yourself.
    Also, I took the time to read your post and ask some very specific questions to which you didn't bother to respond. Why would I respond to your Part 2 if you wouldn't meet me halfway on Part 1?

  • What the heck is going on with my scripts?

    I've been using some home brew scripts to do some video work (Easier to input all the file names and recheck it to make sure everything's right and then just type
    ./encode
    then to type the whole command into the command pompt.  I have been having some issues with creating these scripts though.  I have been getting a bunch of back up files showing up in konqueror, and recently I tried to create a script, and it wouldn't show up in konqeuror at all.  It was there, I could access it in kate and kwrite, but it wasn't listed in a konqueror browser window.  What's going on????
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    Sounds like an issue with Konqueror, not with your scripts. A more appropriate topic might get you a better answer.

  • What the heck is going on with my iPhoto, duplicate, triplicate, quad

    i think my iPhoto is possessed, all of my pictures seem to be growing by number.  I have up to six copies of the same picture.  Have about 4000 originals, but it's showing over 17,000 pictures.  Now most of them are extremely blurry and pixelated.  So I can't run a duplicate finder for fear it will delete the one good copy I have.    Note:  I'm  running Yosemite with all the latest Firmware upgrades. 

    Im not 100% sure what additional info I can provide,
    How do you transfer the Photos from iPad and iPhone? Are you using Photo Stream or connect them to a USB port?
    Which OS version are having on your mobile devices?  Do you have iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled?  (If you are using iCloud Photo Library, deleting the photos from the devices on import does no longer work)
    Do you notice duplicates in the Import panel, when you connect the iPhone, iPad to USB? Keep the Camera.app on the devices open, when you import, then the Photo TSream photos will not show as well.
    Now most of them are extremely blurry and pixelated.
    That suggests, that some an iPhoto library got imported to iPhoto; the pixellated photos are probably thumbnails. Look at one of the pixellated photos in the Info panel in iPhoto. Are their keywords, e.g. Photo stream, and do the pixellated versions show EXIF data like camera model, lens, or are they without meta data?

  • RIM, what the heck is going on with my PB??

    Here are some of the issues:
    It shuts off by itself at 50% of battery!!
    When a new tab is opened, a message pops up asking "how to name the file" (it's been happenning on the last few days).
    Everytime i turn on my PB, native mail program prompts me for my account's passwords (Yahoo, Outlook...).
    It has been frustrating, please help me.
    Thank you.

    1 - See what others say. I don't think this is a good sign. If you are still under warranty, my advice is contact support.
    2 - I have had this happen and it usually corrects on its own. In fact blackberry.com was doing this yesterday, but not now. If it is happening on several websites, then I don't know.
    3 - Same thing. This happens to me with one of my emails. Usually opening the settings page and simply saving fixes it. Sometimes I have to enter the passwords again and save. But it happens again after a few days or a week or two. Don't know that there's anything to do to prevent it.

  • What the heck is going on with ITunes?!  I'm still getting Error 7.  I have lost all my music, books and podcasts...so angry, What the heck is going on with ITunes?!  I'm still getting Error 7.  I have lost all my music, books and podcasts...so angry

    I've installed and reinstalled several times.  Any ideas?

    First of all, why did you say yes to Nero Back up before researching what it does with files already on the HDD? When I install Nero, the Back Up is the first thing I disable, it is a nagging pain, there are much better backup programs available. There are several file recovery programs out there to recover deleted files, that is, if that is what happened. Also, if you haven't overwritten the files, so you should be able to find them.

  • What the heck is going on with the S3 Jelly Bean update

    While I do think it is ridiculous that we don't have JB for the S3 yet, I think I'd rather have them fix the f'n radio reception problems on the S3.   Not sure the Verizon has so many issues with the S3 when it is one of the best selling phones for all other carriers.

    Verizon doesn't care....otherwise we would be getting these updates at a more reasonable time rather than hearing "its coming soon". We have been hearing "coming soon" since the beginning of October. Now we are almost at the middle of December...and every other country and carrier has the update minus US Cellular. Which would not surprise me if US Cellular gets the update before Verizon. Just my two and half cents.

  • What the heck is going on with my podcast settings

    All of a sudden, my preferences don't work. No matter how I set them - which is to DO NOTHING and Keep All Episodes when podcast becomes available - the episodes automatically download (which I don't want) and I can't figure out how to get them to get off my ipod but stay in my itunes! This is new. I've subscribed to ONE podcast for the last year. Never a problem. Until a recent upgrades knocked out my entire podcast library and left me with this problem. Help!

  • What the heck is going on with Safari 7.0?

    Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, Safari is just sucking out my RAM and slowing my machine.
    I use FreeMemory Pro to keep an eye on RAM usage. iMac 2.8 i5, 16GB RAM.
    Until I upgraded to Mavericks, my system would almost always have about 8 to 10GB unused RAM. I usually have these apps open: Safari, Mail, iTunes and sometimes iPhoto. (Previously iPhoto was a RAM hog but that doesn't seem to be a major issue now.)
    After the upgrade I noticed the system slowing down and the available RAM dropping dramatically.
    A little while ago my available RAM dropped to 256MB!!! This is shocking ...
    As soon as I quit Safari, available RAM climbs up to 8 to 10GB available.
    The culprit clearly is Safari.
    Anyone else have the same experience? Any way to fix this? I'm using Chrome now to post this.

    Thank you Carolyn. Turning off plug-ins did fix the problem.
    Not the ideal solution as I do like to use some of those plug-ins. I did try to isolate them to figure out which one was causing the problem ... but in the end I couldn't identify any one plug-in.
    I've moved away from Safari now ... because I do like the four plug-ins that I use, to improve browsing.
    Pity that Safari won't work well with them ... I do prefer Safari to Chrome, but had to move.
    Appreciate your directing me to the cause of the problem.
    Thank you, again.
