Password - when entering letters, not "dots" right away...

Hi all
I have an original iPhone recently upgraded to the 2.0 software. When I enter in a password now into a password field, instead of getting the "*" right away, I first see a letter and then a moment later it turns into the dot. I don't like the idea of having a password be visible on screen. Is there a way to fix this in the new settings?

I can understand why it would be a problem and I'm sorry you don't like it. It would be nice to have the option to turn it off, but I LOVE it!
I can tell right away now if I screw up a password. Especially when entering my WEP key at work! Every so often they shut down the WiFi and when they restart, you have to re-enter the key. It's looooong! It's nice to see the characters for a second, so I don't have to try to enter it a million times!

Firefox does not open right away

A few hours ago, firefox would not open right away for me . i was attempting to go on the internet and mozilla firefox 3.6.12 would not open right away for me. i had to restart my computer. also, mozilla did crash before that when i attempted to go into yahoo to check out my e-mail.

Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

This has been going on for months for me. Time to drop Firefox & go back to IE.

Facetime: user not available right away after dial

When I am trying to do a Facetime Call (Audio and Facetime video), it gives right away a message of "User not available for Facetime". This number used to work no problem before. I tried to do a test with another Iphone to find the reason why this happened. So I found out that it couldn't be a number block nor a Facetime being turned off. Anyone know the reason why it jumps directly to the message of "User not available"?
It seems like an auto-decline incoming calls, but Iphone does not have such option.
Thanks

Theres nothing wrong with your phone, it could mean any if the following:
The person(s) you are callig have blocked you
The person(s) have a dead phone
The person(s) aren't accepting calls
Hope I helped!

Finder Locks up if not used right away

Hi Everyone!
On my 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 24" iMac running Mountain Lion, latest updates, I'm finding the following problems that I can't quite figure out and was hoping someone might have an idea:
Start up very slow - at least 3-4 min.
It takes a VERY long time to populate the finder windows. If I open a finder window it's empty for about 30 sec. before it starts populating and even then it takes quite a bit of time for the icons to change from generic to their proper symbols
Once it's up and running, if I start using it right away, it's fine. But if I walk away and don't use the computer for a few minutes, the finder locks up. The mouse pointer will move, and if a program is open windows can be closed, but nothing can be initiated. If my browser is open (Chrome), eventually I get this page is unresponsive alert. No functions, no new windows in any program. And eventually the beach ball comes on. I've tried to wait it out for as much as 30 min. without success. Opening Force Quit and it's showing the Finder as unresponsive, but force quitting does nothing. I have to manually shut down by using the power button.
When I check the console for error messages, there are none. Very few messages at all.
I can upload more info when I get home tonight, but in the meantime, does this ring any bells for anyone?
THANKS!

Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

Purchase order reprints when entering header note in change mode

Hi All,
We want to use header note in PO as a worklog. PO should not print when a note is entered but whenever we enter any text in the header note in PO change mode, a change output gets triggered and the PO is getting printed. How can we avoid this?
Thanks
Deepthi

Hi Peter,
Thank you for the reply
We do have an entry for object EKKO, Text ID F02 for standard document type in operation 1 and 2. Do I have to remove an entry for operation 2 here?. If I remove it, Will it cause problem to other header texts i.e I do not want the PO print only when the header note have some changes. But it should print if any other header text is changed.
Thanks
Deepthi

Songs are not displayed right away

upon inserting CD, song names/cd info does not show unless I click on advanced/get song names. My computer used to find all this info right away, but changed with the new itunes update. Any ideas?

I have the ZenV Plus, 2 gb and it lists the songs by Artist, by Album, by Genre and then it has a complete alphabetical list of the songs by title (All tracks). Don't you have this option uner your "Music Library"

I get asked for a password when i did not yet set one (after a system reset for the same problem)

I am getting asked for a password when i have yet to set one. I have already done a reset and am still getting prompted for a password, which I do not know.

If you can't remember the Restrictions passcode you have to either:
- Restore the iPod from a backup that does not have the passcode, or
- Restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod.

ITunes library cannot load from NAS - Asking password when it should not...

Hi all,
I just updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1, worst idea ever. Tons of problems appeared including this really strange one.
iTunes, for a reason or another, decided to reset my library path, which mean all my songs have the "!" symbol in front, saying iTunes cannot find it. So I went in the preference menu to change it back to what it was (it was on the default folder now). My library was running from my NAS drive, using the "Z" letter on my computer. When I click on the button to change the library folder and select my NAS (it appear in the "Network" field), it ask for a password. Still, there is no password on the NAS, and I have no problems opening the NAS from the network menu BUT from the itunes options...
I tried using my NAS admin account (didnt work), windows account (didnt work), admin admin (didnt work).
What is the most frustrating is that I can go see the files and play them from the NAS on my computer, it's just itunes that is completly broken for no reason...
Is there AT LEAST a way to force itunes to change the folder from a file or something?
Thanks a lot for the help in advance guys.
PS: Really, this is the last time. If I loose my library I will never use itunes again... I'll find any crappy program that can surely not do better, but at least work...

try double clicking a song with a !
in the resulting pop up hit locate
browse to the location of the song and select it
in the next pop up tell it yes to use the location of that song to find other items

PackageMaker: requiring admin password when it should not

I've been seeing a really strange "anomoly" with a package I've created.
None of the files in the package are configured to require the Admin password and the install
destination is specified to be the user home directory. However, with the *same* .pkg file, I
see three different installations:
1) Everything goes along with minimal interaction and everything is installed where it
should be.
2) Almost the same, except the user is presented a window asking where to install the
package: the user directory or some other location.
3) With either of the two above, there may be a popup requesting the admin password. But
even with the correct password, the package files are not installed; even though the install
is declared successful. (I haven't been able to figure out where it thinks the files are going.)
So there are really two questions. First, why is the user ever queried about the destination
of the package files when the package is configured to use the home directory. Second,
why is the user promoted for the admin password.
As I said, this is with the same package file. Double clicking it will present one of the
scenarios above.
This certainly makes for a poor installation experience. I'm wondering it there is something
I've done (ore haven't done) which would cause these to happen.
Suggestions or comments welcome.
Oh yes, it makes no difference whether I use the PackageMaker GUI or the command line
interface.

Is it possible to show passwords when entering them instead of masking with * so a person with poor typing can see what they are entering

A friend with arthritic fingers often hits the wrong key when typing a password which can mean several attempts have to be made. Recently she was locked out of a site after several failures to enter the password.
