POLL: things that make whine come back after mirror widget

I have the whine. Goes away with mirror widget on then off -> whine stays away until:
1) reboot
2) turn on imovie HD
3) click on "recording" tab in preferences of quicktime
Anyone else confirm and/or add to what makes whine come back post mirror widget trick?

You are correct sir.
You are better off using the Quiet MBP application. It uses just a little bit more of your processor.

  • Skype for Android comes back after log out

    I'll try this message again because apparently the first time I wrote it it just went into the ether of the internet. Recently Skype on my S4 has been logging back in and starting up after I've logged out even after I've forced closed the app. Previously when I closed the app by signing out it would completely get out of skype. If this behavior continues I will make sure that I make my company and friends leave skype and Lync (since they are becoming the same thing). This is on top of the terrible redesign of the desktop app that you pretended to listen to feedback on but after over 80 pages of feedback, decided not to listen to at all. Please don't present this as a "feature" or say that you can solve the problem by turning off "Sign in automatically" and "turning off notificiations." I want those things to remain as I don't want to have to enter my password each time I use the app and I would like the notifications when in use. And turning them on and off each time is the mark of a terrible interface. If this is some sort of feature, it needs to be made separate and made sure that Skype doesn't autorun when turning on your phone. I should mention that some of these have been notifications in the middle of the night, so it not only can affect ones sleep, it can cause additional communication problems with people thinking they are online when they truly are not. Definitely not something you want in a business or personal atmosphere.  Skype for Android even with it's new notifications is still a terrible battery hog, with no option to change the now strange formatting and call button is in a place that results in a lot of unintentional calls because it's by where the touch keyboard is instead of at the top like it was previously. There is no reason that Skype should come back after being forced closed, but it should not have to get to that point. Please fix ASAP. This does explain some of the terrible battery life I've been experiencing lately.  

    THERE IS A WORKAROUND FOR THIS VERY ANNOYING AND BAD BEHAVIOUR I also have experienced this problem on S4mini, SII and other Android devices running all sorts of versions of AOSP. You are all correct that this should not happen (signout should == signout) but if you don't want to reboot you Android all the time then do the following (instructions for A 4.4.2 Kitkat on Samsung running TouchWiz but similar to other devices)0. Signout of SKYPE1.    SETTINGS2.        MORE ...3.            APPLICATION MANAGER4.                RUNNINGYou should find a SKYPE process; select it and STOP (ignoring any warnings). Voila, no more zombie SKYPE Worring things include being online and woken in the middle of the night - but more so is that the running process is VIDEOMONITOR - now why would MSFT want to leave that running???

  • MBP does not come back after hybernation

    Hello everyone,
    I am enjoying my MBP except for one problem. It does not come back after it hybernates sometimes.
    I hit a key, hear the superdrive do it's "thing" and then after much waiting (approximately over 10 minutes) no picture or video on the screen!
    I can tell that it's still powered on because it's plugged in and when I hit the Caps Lock key it lights on and off.
    The only way that I can get it out of this state is to hold down the power button, unplug the power cord, take the battery out, hold in the power button for 4 seconds, reinsert the battery and power back on.
    I have to then cycle the power back off because the first time it does not come back but I just get the blank white boot screen and no 'apple'.
    When I turn it back on the second time, it boots up.
    Anyone else have a problem with this?
    Thanks for listening!
    Mark

    Hello Gweedo!
    Yeah I have the same issue and am up to date. Apparently this is a pretty huge problem with the Macbook Pro since the last Graphics update after updating to 10.5.2.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394449
    I have been perusing through that topic and hopefully they will come up with a fix for this.
    The only work-a-round that I have found (but haven't tested extensively yet) is to disconnect to the wireless, turn off blue tooth, disconnect my external monitor and then go into sleep mode. Then it always comes back. But if I leave it connected to the wireless, bluetooth, and external monitor - it's a crap shoot as to weather or not it will come back up.
    This is pretty frustrating because half of using a laptop is being able to hybernate and sleep properly.
    I even have the 'smartsleep' installed.
    Thanks for commenting everybody!

  • E550 will not come back after hibernation/sleeping mode

    Thinkpad E550 will not come back after hibernation/sleeping mode. please help. I just bought this garbage laptop about 1 month ago. the big issue is the laptop will not come back after sleeping. I often run some calculation for some hours, the laptop always goes sleeping and wont come back. I had to power off the laptop and re-started it again. All of my calculation results  were gone. Lenovo support is very bad, I already submitted a service ticket 2 weeks ago, but nobody contacted me. Lenovo laptops are garbage. I will not buy it anymore. Anyone can help? thanks a lot!

    HI Clare,
    In the Toshiba Power Management utility you should click on the 'advanced' tab and about half way down the resultant window you should see an option for the action to be taken when you close the lid of your SA30.
    Make sure that this is set to 'hibernate'. Then go to the power save modes and click on the 'details' tab and then the 'Power Save Mode' tab and make sure that the 'Hibernate' option is set to 'never'.
    With these settings your notebook should go into 'hibernate' when you close the lid but not at any other time.
    Note that you can set the notebook to hibernate when running on battery when the bttery capacity reaches a pre-set value of your own choosing.
    regards,

    my ipad screen is black and will not reset and does not come back after restoring, the info is still on internal because i can see it on itunes in the apps catagory it's the display is not working, can see backlight but black...does anyone know how to fix, other than take it to apple.
    thanks!

    The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

  • IPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

    iPhoto suddenly doesn't seem to recognize my camera, and essentially freezes. The only thing that makes sense is that another person in my house imported using a different camera and that changed things somehow. Ideas?

    Hi There!
    The camera is a Panasonic Lumix. I don't have a USB card reader. I did try and different port although not a different cable.
    I did remember one additional thing. I plugged my camera in at work to a PC. It was after that, when I came home, that the iPhoto wasn't working when I connected my camera to our iMac/iPhoto at home. I think this may have caused the problem.
    Cheers!

  • Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

    Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
    I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
    Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
    I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
    I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
    Thanks.

    Hi moose53,
    Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
    If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

  • Little things that make Linux more secure

    So after reading a post about rm -rf /home mishap I've decided to make my Arch a bit more safer and share it with you.
    So if you have some useful things that make your Arch safer as it is share it here.
    So first thing I've did I've decided to add this to my bashrc as alias:
    alias rm='echo "last chance before screwing things up 10s..." && sleep 10s && rm'
    10 seconds is maybe a bit too much, but it gives you enough time to prevent things from screwing up (at least if you're doing it as normal user...)
    The other thing I've done was to prevent Forkbombs to take down the system. I've found this when I tried to reduce swappiness of my Arch.
    Sorry can't find the link anymore but what I did was this:
    ulimit -u 30
    It limits the number of processes on 30, so forkbomb has no effect; but the site said that this could prevent you from compiling things and similar stuff.
    So I'm not sure how good is for you.
    Do you have any good advice what to do to make it safer.
    Something maybe in likes of SELinux or iptables (I have no idea how to set them )
    please share.

    Well, it's your system, but let me tell you that 30 processes is "a bit" too low. Did you test this setup w/ a running X?
    There are many definitions of "safe":
    - hacker/cracker-proof,
    - PEBKAC/fool-proof,
    - backups etc. in case your hardware dies.
    - etc.
    I'm the only user on my computer and I trust myself not to do really dumb things.
    Actually I did. I have KDEmod an "whatnot" running. I was surprised myself still don't really know how it's actually possible.
    I've tried the forkbomb it won't work, but I can start new apps, have X and KDE with all it's bells and wisthels runnign and still don't get any errosr which I would expect.
    @Xyne:
    Well I personally think that hitting y for every subfolder of certain folder I wish to remove is waste of time. But agreed 10s is too much. I'll reduce it to 3-4.
    I know I am cautious to some extent. But I decided to start this thread so thredas like my borther / sister / I ve rm -rf-ed my / /home or something else.
    I do kind of trust myslef even if I only skim through AUR PKGBUILD files and haven't touch iptables (yet).
    I've also don't have SSH on my install as I don't need it.
    But to be truthful I do have the weakest password for my root, so that's probably bad (have to think of another password).
    I know that most archers know how to take care for their computer, but I was still curious what you do. And if what I did made my computer safer.
    What do I have to add to my PS1 so that my root will be red?

  • There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good

    There are several login keychain items I'd like to get rid of. I've deleted them but they come back after several hours. How can I get rid of them for good.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
    If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
    Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
              Change Settings for Keychain "login"
    In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
    From the menu bar, select
              Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
    If the box marked
              Keep login keychain unlocked
    is not checked, check it.
    Select
              Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
    from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access.

  • The Whine Is back After Leopard Install

    I cant believe what I am hearing ! The mosquito-like whine is back after installing Leopard on my MBP 17.
    Anyone else getting this ?

    Yeah, i think some of you are right. Leopard does run cooler as compared to Tiger.
    But i just can't imagine, why does Apple re-create a problem that they have already solved in Tiger!?
    I'm getting tired of the tiny mosquito noise. Does anyone know whether can i bring my Macbook to Apple for a fix (or exchange..) ?

  • It anyone else having this problem with Siri saying that it'll come back to you?

    Siri keeps on telling me that it will come back to me and it not working.  I just bought the phone a couple of days ago and started having issues yesterday. 

    The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

  • Very weird: uninstalled programs come back after reboot

    I have turned off the system restore. I am sure the programs are uninstalled from the control panel, and the files in C:\Program Files\xxx are all gone. But these programs  always comes back after a reboot, and resets all the file associations. I guess
    it is a strategy the previous IT staff used to protect these programs. But the current IT staff have no clue what is happening here. It is so annoying.
    Thank you very much for any input.
