Possible bug with the registration verification code, some follow up

About this post I made earily,
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=187286
> I ran into this problem several times before.
I mean that I finally made a successful registration after dozens of trying
in the last two or three years time span.
I just don't know what went wrong, and never get around to search for the solution.
Luckily I figure it out today.
And I rushed in to report it, hoping it will be fixed,
And no more people will be put off by this again.
After some search, I see I am not alone:
"" List of titles:

Forum registration question does not work if DST is enabled
It seams that Time Zone and DST are causing a bigger problem than it should be.
May be a not time-related Registration Captcha will server us better.

I don't know if it has been fixed, but when I tried to register 2 years ago, it continuously failed, even though I was quite sure I had entered everything correctly.  On a whim, I decided to check the box that said daylight savings time is in effect.  When I did that, my registration went through.  So while "shouldn't be an issue" is technically true, it was an issue for me.  I had to provide incorrect information in order to successfully register, and I only managed to do so by grasping at straws.
For the record, daylight savings time is never in effect in Hawaii.

  • Possible bug with iTunes 11 ?? (with Smart Playlists)

    Hi folks
    New to Apple Support, but after upgrading to iTunes 11 earlier today (on my Mac Mini) I've discovered a potential bug / difference in the way it operates compared to earlier versions. Can someone else try something similar and see if they get the same result - I think I read somewhere that v11 is not available on Windows yet, so I cant compare what happens there
    I've imported all our CD's into iTunes, and we've set up several Smart Playlists (SP). Using the Rating setting for the songs, we can break them up into groups, eg
    Rating 0 = not yet processed
    Rating 1 = not interested in listening to again
    Rating 2 = kids songs (for our children)
    Rating 3 = christmas songs
    Rating 4 = songs i like, but my wife probably wouldnt
    Rating 5 = songs we both like - good for background music etc
    Using Home Sharing to our iPad's rocks !!
    Now, onto the bug.
    Using the SP that has just songs with Rating 0, I could play any song, set the Rating to whatever, and naturally once set, that disappears from the SP
    In all earlier versions of iTunes, playback would continue with the next song, so I could set that Rating, etc etc. Worked really well to churn through a chunk of songs in say 15 minute blocks
    With iTunes v11, playback stops as soon as I set the Rating.
    How can you help ?????????? Set up a smart playlist with whatever criteria you like - make sure you have a number of songs returned and ensure Live Updating is set, have a song playing, and make that song no longer valid for that SP. Anyone doing this in earlier versions of iTunes should have the next song begin, and if this is a bug, then those using iTunes 11 will have playback stop
    Sorry for the long post, but in order to determine a potential bug, you need to describe the situation and how to test it.
    Thanks for reading
    PS I'm on a 2010 Mac Mini with OSX v10.7.x (whatever the current release of that is) and just upgraded to iTunes 11

    Soo, maybe it isnt possible bug, but the way Apple have changed iTunes when going to v11. Stooopid
    Anyway, found this link about downgrading to an earlier version. I've just completed it and found one or two "errors" in the method, which I'll detail below
    http://www.emacconsulting.com/apple/itunes/downgrade-itunes-11-to-itunes-10-7/
    In the latter part of the instructions
    11) Open your iTunes Music Folder.
    If you never moved your iTunes folder it’s located here:
    Your HD/Your User/Music/iTunes
    Or go to the Finder type:  Command + Shift + G
    Paste this into the the dialog:  ~/Music/iTunes
    If you moved it to another hard drive, you will know where to locate your iTunes folder.
    12) Open the “Previous iTunes Libraries” folder.
    13) Find the most recent copy of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” file.
    Normally it will the last file at the bottom of the list.
    14) Drag a copy of the file into the iTunes folder.
    15) Delete the “iTunes Library” file.
    16) Change the name of the “iTunes Library 2012-xx-xx.itl” to ”iTunes Library” with no .itl extension.
    In #11, I simply went to "My HD"/Users/"My User"/Music/iTunes
    Copied the latest .itl and moved it up a directory level
    The old file in #15 is called "iTunes Library.itl" - which I renamed, and renamed the copied version back to "iTunes Library.itl" = though I do have extensions showing, some people may not and hence wont see the .itl
    Anyway all is fixed in my world, and when I launched v10.7, it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to v11 - I said No and not to prompt me again. Playcount issue is resulved, as is changing SmartList criteria with playback continuing
    Apple - please correct these bugs before releasing any new versions of iTunes... you've made a very large number of people unhappy

  • Can someone confirm a possible bug with Universal Access?

    Can someone confirm a possible bug with Universal Access?
    I have a Mac Pro 3,1, 10.7.1 but if you could confirm or not this possible bug with any model.
    In Energy Saver preference pane:
    Set Mac to never sleep.
    Set Display Sleep to ~2 minutes.
    In Desktop & Screen Saver:
    Set screen saver to start at ~1 minutes.
    In Universal Access:
    Check Enable access for assistive devices.
    Check radio button Zoom to On.
    Zoom in window not checked.
    Confirm that Zoom works by pressing:
    ⌥⌘= (option, command, =).
    Set screen back to normal by pressing ⌥⌘-.
    Let screen sleep after screen saver starts.
    Wake screen and see if ⌥⌘= still works.
    Thanks … Ken

    Other than the time intervals (smallest Screen Saver kick-in is 3 minutes), it works fine for me - at least I can still zoom in/out after waking the display.
    Tested on two different MacBook Pro models in 10.7.1

  • When trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

    After updating with the latest software, when trying to edit a photo, it disappears (black screen) or screen is full of lines. If I blindly crop or edit the photo, when I exit edit mode, those changes have been made, but obviously this is unacceptable. Is this a bug with the latest software update?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • The screen of my MacBook Pro itself periodically switches the color. That is, with the usual colors, on some blue. What to do? Should be repaired, or you can figure out the most? HELP ME PLEASE!

    LambChops1,
    I’m using Mavericks, and it’s still possible to select text to drag and for cutting and pasting. Left-clicking and right-clicking is still possible, too.
    Try opening the Trackpad pane of System Preferences, and select the Point & Click tab. To right-click, ensure that your “Secondary click” checkbox has been checked; the small print under “Secondary click” is a dropdown menu which allows you to select the form of right-clicking that you prefer. (For instance, mine is set to “Click in bottom right corner”.) For left-clicking, is your “Tap to click” checkbox checked, or unchecked? (Mine is unchecked, since I prefer pushing for left-clicking over tapping to do so.)

  • After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC.  I receive a window with the Microsoft error code R6034

    After installing the most recent iTunes update/version iTunes will no longer run on my PC (Windows 7).  I receive multiple error windows with the Microsoft error code R6034.  Microsoft's Help site states that this error occurs when a driver attempts to access the C++ library without a "Manifest".  I do not know what a manifest is, but apparently any attempt to directly access the C++ library is not permitted.  The site instructs the viewer to contact the application developer.

  • Possible bug with Triggers tab

    Hi there,
    I'm using 1.0.0.12.15 and think there is a bug with the triggers tab. When I navigate to my table (which has one trigger on it), and then click on the Triggers tab, the trigger shows up multiple times. It's probably not a coincidence that it shows up the same number of times that there are columns :)
    Looks like a missing join condition somewhere.
    Hope this helps

    Tracked this one down too...
    SQL Developer is getting the triggers like this:
    Select dt.trigger_NAME, dt.trigger_type, dt.triggering_Event, dt.status, do.object_id , do.owner sdev_link_owner, dt.trigger_NAME sdev_link_name,'TRIGGER' sdev_link_type
    from all_triggers dt, all_objects do
    where do.owner = :OBJECT_OWNER
    and dt.owner = :OBJECT_OWNER
    and dt.trigger_name = do.object_name
    and dt.table_name = :OBJECT_NAME
    However, we got other objects (mainly tables) with the same name as the trigger. Not specifying the object type will identify them the same way as the trigger, resulting them all to be included in the select!
    Adding "and do.object_type = 'TRIGGER'" will solve the problem.

The app is on the home screen, and its downloading is blocked at its end, without showing the app like it should when it's finished downloadung. Does someone can help me and fix this please?

    Hi Tom
    Thanks for replying!
    I had heard that these switches didn't stack unless everything was identical.
    I only tried it at all out of pure desperation.
    I've applied and tested every version 3 firmware in standalone mode via a console cable and xmodem.
    They either never come up properly receiving decompression errors and reboot constantly in a loop.
    Occasionally they stall / jam and stay there displaying the same error with no rebooting.
    And twice out of 80-100 times I got it to boot to the username and password screen in standalone mode.
    But as soon as I made a change it crashed and started the rebooting cycle again.

  • A Bug with the new ms-6729 Bios (6729v5.30)

    Hi
    After updating my Bios to the new version, the motherboard detect my CPU(Athlon 2400+) as a 1800+.
    I tried to change settings manually without success.
    Anybody has encountred a similar problem?
    Best Regards

    Dir Sir,
    Thank you very much for your quick answer, but i believe you didn't try
    the mentioned Bios.
    I'm not a novice, i mounted more than 300 computers for my clients, and
    around 30 of last 50 computers are with MSI Motherboards.
    Cpu Fsb for Athlon 2400+ is 133 but the ddr/fsb is 4:5 because i'm using
    DDR 333 and the K7N2-V (MS-6729) is DDR 400 ready.
    With all MSI motherboards i mounted, it’s enough to put the correct CPU
    FSB and (Auto) to detect everything by the SPD.
    Certainly it's a BUG with the new version because the Bios and Windows
    detect CPU as Athlon 1800+ (1500) instead of 2400+ (20000.
    Best Regards,
    Lostan
