Plug-in problem...any ideas?
I recently installed a plug-in called Garmin Communicator Plug-in for a Garmin watch I've just bought. Using it with an online facility called Garmin Connect, it required this plug-in in order for parts of the site to work correctly. Unfortunately, the plug-in didn't install correctly and after locating the file in the Internet Plug-ins folder I deleted it then re-installed it, but sadly it still doesn't work. I know it's compatible with Safari 4.0.2 as it worked perfectly on my Macbook, the problem is on my iMac. Will there be any other file besides the one I've tried deleting that I'd have to delete in order to re-install the plug-in successfully? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated
No you don't need to delete it first.
Just to join the dots:
Repairing permissions is important, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two in Tiger, but much longer in Leopard.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
An article on troubleshooting Permissions can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
By the way, you can ignore any messages about SUID or ACL file permissions, as explained here:

If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.

I've swapped to i5c (great phone) so my hubby has my i4s with pay as u go but now it won't load or sent e-mails! I've tried tech support suggested by Talkmobile for 'fix' but it hasn't solved problem,any ideas?..
Try this from MacFixIt as well:
In the case of drive directory damage or problems with permissions, the solution is usually to use Apple's Disk Utility to repair the disk. Of course, you won't be able to perform this operation normally (simply launching the Disk Utility application, located in Applications/Utilities, and initiating a disk repair) if your system will not startup. So two options exist:
* Insert your Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) media (DVD or CD) and restart the computer while holding down the "C" key. Once the computer has booted from the installation disc, select "Utilities" from the menubar and open Disk Utility. Repair the disk, then quit Disk Utility and restart your system.
* Alternatively, you can repair the disk while booted in single user mode if you do not have access to a retail Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger) DVD/CD. To startup in single user mode, hold down the "Command" and "S" keys simultaneously at startup. Once properly booted, type the command fsck at the prompt. Repeat these process until no errors appear. -

Hello Pamela,
What happens when you try to change the volume with the headphones plugged in? Anything? Does this happen with every pair of headphones you try?
Maybe try resetting the Nano.

my ipod will only charge when i fiddle with it and hold it in a weird position, i've tried a 2 new chargers but i still have the same problem, any ideas what to do?
Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. (is this what you meant by charger?)
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

N97 problems any ideas solutions?
hi there i got my n97 on realease date in the uk and have had no problems with it whatsover, until yesterday that is, i had set my phone to always ask when connecting to web, so when home screen was up the message would come up whether to connect or not, well yesterday this stopped appearing, ive alternated between offline and online, swithced off and on, took out battery and restored the fatory settings, however it still doesnt seem able to connect none of my widgets load up either , also i cant access my browser, when i try the same happens as with the widgets, the screen goes blank then back to the home screen?? im recieving my emails fine so i dont think its a connection problem, anyone any ideas or experienced this themselves?
please help i really love my phone
cheers in advance, andyare you able to update your phone with the latest firmware ? v11 .... i know that UK has not received it but perhaps it changed ? i am not sure. that could help you also consider formatting your phone. you will have to do a back up and also you might lose some apps that have been preinstalled on the phone including the accu weather one, that can not be replaced cause it is nowhere to be found. if you chose to do that here is what you would do plug in *#7370# from your home screen/dialer and if it asks you for a code plug in 12345. this might solve your issue.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery.... -
I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?
Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem! -
Since we had the ipod touch since xmas we have had slight problems with charging and connecting to itunes, i sent back to Apple to repair/inspect, they have returned it back as working fine, tried 2 different windows pcs, my mac mini and cannot get the ipod to connect, Windows tries installing drivers only to say it has failed, uninstall try again, go into recovery mode and dfu, nothing seems to work. I have 2 ipads an iphone 4s which all connect faultlessly. Any ideas?
Have you tried another cable? Some iPods were shipped with cable that either did no work initially or shortly failed.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Bring the cable too.

Hard Disk Problems - Any ideas anyone??
I recently replaced my ibook's HD with a new one, every thing has been fine until just recently. Mysteriously on my control click menus and other pop up windows like save and open, all system text has turned into code. use the following url for an example http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y218/whatapileof/menu.jpg . The text is now N21 and things like that. Any ideas? When i tried to do a HD repair in disc utility, the permissions are fine but when i repair the disc it fails each time. I have tried to reinstall the OS but that also fails. I am guessing that the menu text and this repair issue are hand-in-hand. Only thing i can think of is doing a re-format. There’s no other issues that i can spot and the problem is bearable. Im used to doing reformats with windows. never thought i would have to with OSX though. Any ideas how to avoid?? Cheers.
Intel iMac 1.83GHz Mac OS X (10.4.7) iBook G4, Cube G4, iMac G3How did you install your OS onto the new hard drive? Did you do a clean install or did you use one of those disk cloning utilities?
Have you tried creating a new user and seeing if that new user also has this problem? If you restored your Library folder from an old OS installation, it could have corrupted some Finder preference.
If all else fails, do is re-format and re-install from scratch.
I have never seen this before. See if a new user has the same problem. If that doesn't help, since it is bearable, wait a few days and see if someone else reponds to this message and knows a quick fix. If that doesn't happen re-format and re-install. -
Iphoto export problem any ideas???
I cannot export photos before a certain date. I have about two years worth in my iphoto and after a certain date I can export. I don't know what is different between the photos. I tried command option while launching iphoto and none of those options corrected them with the exception of two photos. I didn't find anything listed in the type of file except jpg's...no png's as some people have found. And it is strange because after July of 2012 everything exports fine. I don't get it does anyone have any ideas? I would logically think a problem would not resolve itself and be ok after a date with any recently photos able to export and older ones unable to.I haven't added any programs and if I did I would think they would have created the problem not solved it....I want to be able to export my old photos...I have spent quite a bit of time on it...any help would be great. OH and another problem I am out of state and my start up disk is back home in MI and I am in CA
Take a look at theis thread in the iPhoto forum https://discussions.apple.com/message/21143278#21143278
If this doesn't help you might post your question over in the iPhoto forum. -
Bizarre App "de-selection" Problem - Any idea?
Ok... This is strange enough that I am at a total loss. This literally just started happening this morning for no apparent reason. Basically what's going on is that when I am in an app, like safari or pages, or anything, after about 30 seconds of using the current window everything up top will grey out and the cursor will disappear as if I am switching to another app or something. I have to replace my cursor and continue typing (like I've had to do 3 times up to this point right here). There is nothing else open to be switched to so it really doesn't make any sense... Does anyone have any idea what might be happening? Need any more information? Thank you.
Reformatted... Re-installed OSX SL... Just restored backed up files individually, carefully checking permissions. Problem solved. Works fine. Seems to be the only solution.

Hi Folks,
I'm seeing a funny issue and running out of ideas, any help would be appreciated.
Here is a pl/sql block :
declare
ctr number := 0;
ctr1 number := 0;
begin
insert into TableT ( x, y, z)
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ;
-- this inserts 67xxx records. This number varies randomly during runs, no two runs return the same number e.g 67258, 67120, 67118 etc
for rec in (
select <3 columns> from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5> ) loop
ctr := ctr+1;
end loop;
dbms_output.put_line(ctr); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
select count(*) into ctr1 from table1, table2, table3, table4, table5
where <join conditions for tables 1 thru 5>
dbms_output.put_line(ctr1); -- shows the right number that should be returned by the select query i.e. 67105 EVERY time its run
end;
/The query in the for loop is an exact cut-paste job from the query in the insert.
Theres nothing special about tableT its just a straight create table with NO clauses other than column definitions all of which are number,varchar2(20) and date specified at creation time, no constraints, no triggers. DB is 11.1.0.7 if thats relevant.
I've racked my brains, cant think of a reason for this. Any ideas ?
TIA !!!!

Hi Hoek,
Thanks for your reply, I cant really demonstrate the problem with test data since if I create new test tables and sample data, the problem does not show up.
I'm really looking for suggestions of areas to look into, I understand you can't point out the actual problem with what I've posted.
NormHi Norm,
Too bad you cannot reproduce the problem. It raises more questions and guesses/speculations which is the opposite of what you're looking for.
Are you getting the problem in an 'isolated environment' (are you the only one doing DML, is this a test database or...)?
How did you determine the number of rows inserted through your SQL approach (INSERT...SELECT)? SQL%ROWCOUNT?
Any triggers on table1..5?
Your example seems to be narrowed down a bit too much, expecially since you cannot reproduce when you try to recreate the problem. -
Scrollbar problem - any ideas?
I know another scrollbar problem...ive read the posts but cant solve it. Anyone got any ideas?
got a program called Map which draws a map (using paint()) of a web site. I can get it to work but often there are so many links they go off the page.I need a scrollbar.
In main i set up a frame: JFrame frame=new JFrame("M");
Then set up scrollbar: JScrollPane cf = new JScrollPane();
cf.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy (JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
cf.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS );
Then add scrollbar to frame: frame.getContentPane().add(cf);
Then add Map() - my main prog: cf.add(new Map());
(Map constructor calls repaint() - paint method draws to screen. main program extends JComponent)
All i get is a blank (grey frame) with a scrollbar :) ...doesnt show Map - paint
I can ignore scrollbar and use a container instead -
Container c=frame.getContentPane()
then set its layout : c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
and add Map() to it : add(new Mapper(),BorderLayout.CENTER);
It works fine - but i need a scrollbar...
Thanks for your time&helpHers the code for my main Mapper program (which is loaded first) and the Scan program(below).I know the structures all over the place+thats the problem. I would like a scrollbar. Also everytime i scan a new window opens, it would be good if only 1 ever opened.Ive been fiddling for days and am lost.Can anyone sort it out?
