Possibly the most annoying thing on the face of this planet.
Obviously I've done something horribly wrong because I absolutely cannot log into a computer I've been trying to set up for my parents. My parents have a 1.25 GHz eMac and needed Leopard installed so they could sync a new iPod touch with iTunes, since Tiger does not support iTunes 10. So I upgraded the computer via target disk mode with an iBook G4 that collects dust in my closet and restarted the eMac, followed through with the setup assistant and created an account. The problem is that directly after the setup assistant finishes and ironically tells me "Enjoy your Mac!", instead of going straight to the desktop like I'm used to, it brings me to a blank login box. It shakes no matter what I put in. Even the user name and password I just created. If anyone happens to know what's up, I'll be forever grateful!
Which exact procedure did you use? If you booted the ibook and installed to the e-Mac then the installer may have put an ibook version of the OS onto the e-Mac. If the e-Mac does not have a DVD drive you can borrow the ibook's drive by putting the ibook in TDM and do it that way around.

I have a comment. I am very upset with Photoshop and all your tutorials regarding the quick select tool. I have watched many tutorials and read instructions until I am blue in the face. This tool does not work. It is all over the place and all of your tutorials make it look so simple. How can you advertise this as a viable tool when it just doesn't work?

This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.

Concluding something does not work because you fail at using it is not necessarily always justified.
The Quick Selection Tool certainly has limitations, but your post seems to be more about venting than trouble-shooting – otherwise you might have posted an image where you failed to get an expected result. -
Sleep Light Most Annoying thing ever.
I was wondering if t here is a way to turn off the sleep light or if Apple could programm a way in the future to turn off this sleep light. I have my mac in my bedroom and cannot turn it against the wall or throw something over it. I have taped stuff over the light but this is sooooo ugly. I like to have a nice bedroom with my beautiful apple computer, not some taped up one. The other thing that drives me crazy is the Aiport Extreme base station lights. Whoever thought of these flashing lights needs to change it.
You do know that you can change the light behaviour of the AirPort Express station with the AirPort Admin Utility under "Base Station options", do you? Set it to constantly on, and it will be less annoying.
What exact Model is your iMac G5? Maybe you can install the ALS firmware Update to get a turned down light during the dark hours.
Each Mac with an ALS (Ambient Light Sensor) will turn down the sleep light intensity when it is dark in the room. With Portables this of course only works when the lid is open. Obviously otherwise there would be no reading on the sensors.

Flash Player is the Most annoying thing ever
Cant get adobe to work. It keeps freezing my computer for about 60 seconds when i try to watch youtube or something. 'Adobe flash player has crashed do you want to send crash report?' comes up on the screen. Then low and behold it starts working maybe 2 days later then it stops working again in another 2 days! And its a constant cycle like this.Its simply wrecking my head. I've read all the forums and tried everything, nothing seems to be working, and the 'great' people at the help centre gave me great advise, they told me to go to the forums!!! Is that their job to redirect people to the forums? Easiet job ever, i want that job, muppets! Sorry i'm ranting now but its so frustrating!
Hi, you didn't mention any computer info, but you are probably using FF(Firefox)? No one is going to help you until you post your computer information, 64bit or 32bit, browsers Installed and version numbers.
Flash Player is not the problem, it's everything that a user has Installed into their browser most of the time that causes problems. Or they don't have Flash Player Installed correctly and a hundred other reasons:-)
Thanks,

Spell check is the most annoying thing ever!
I have seriously come close to hurling this phone at the wall...!
because of the autocorrect spell check BS feature...
when is apple going to give me the ability to turn it off?
I ABSOLUTELY HATE A DEVICE THAT TRIES TO THINK FOR ME
IF I SPEEL SOMETHING WORGN - THAT IS THE WAY I WANT IT!I'd like to see them improve the "suggestions" (just hire someone from blackberry for this, my (work) BB curve is light years better). iOS almost never gets it right.
I think that would make the fact that it is a 'click-to-deny' system so much more tolerable. I get so frustrated when it wants to correct a word I'm spelling the way I intended to, to some ridiculous word. Other times my word is only wrong by one letter and the correct word isn't even a suggestion.
Spellcheck/autocorrect and notifications are easily the worst two features of iOS.

Is there a way to order the Faces list in Photos app?
It seems to list them in a random order and doesn't even have a search bar at the top of the Faces list.
This is the hack that Larry referenced:
1 - open the library like this in the Finder.
2 - in the Database folder move this file to the Trash: Faces.db.
3 - close the package/folder and launch iPhoto. Close it after a moment.
4 - open the package, find the new version of the file and lock it via the Info window for the file.
5 - while viewing the contents of the package type Command+F to start a search.
6 - set the criteria of the search to: Kind is Image and Name Contains "face".
7 - select all of the files in the search results window and drag to the Trash.
8 -close the package and launch iPhoto.
You will get the faces spinning wheel as it tries to index the library the first time it's opened but it won't be able to write to the database file if you should try to add a face and won't create any new jpeg faces files. Of course make a backup of your library before trying this and no guarantee implied.

After i have upgraded to Lion OS, this computer has become the **** computer on this planet. Everything is so slow as if i am in 1990 where you can click on something and take a coffee break. Constantly get errors on MS Outlook and all applications are taking for ever to open up. If you guys can't fix it i am going to throw this out the window. Completely fed up with this. Have always loved apple but this is the worst experience i have with the MacBook Air and its not even 1.5yr old.
There are two ways to upgrade to Lion - one is to install Lion overtop of the existing Snow Leopard and the other is to erase the hard drive, install Lion, and then migrate your applications and user accounts. This second option takes a good deal longer than the first so the preferred method for most is the first method and in most cases it works fine. But not in all.
captfred has told you what I'd start out doing if it were my computer. There's a good chance that you can identify an application or plug-in that's causing the problem. Upgrading the involved item(s) can solve the problem. Of all the Lion upgrades I performed I had a couple that weren't completely successful even though I'd looked for programs and plug-ins that needed upgrading first. I missed a few but I found them after the fact and had happy computers.
There was one computer that still had problems. With this computer I reinstalled Lion right over the old version. (If you didn't keep a copy you'll need to download it first.) I still wasn't satisfied so with that computer I rebooted into the recovery partition (Command R after restarting) formatted the hard drive, installed Lion and then migrated. That did solve the problem. -
IPhoto doesn't show most of the Faces in the Confirm Additional Faces dialogue
The latest (2013) version of iPhoto is doing strange things when tagging Faces.
I have several dozen people identified in Faces but with the new version (on Mavericks), when I go to the Faces screen the pictures for each person have been replaced with black squares.
When I double-click to add more Faces tags, then click on the Confirm Additional Faces dialogue, most of the pictures that are proposed for tagging are also shown as black squares. A few of the images will actually show the faces that iPhoto has identified, but most of them are black squares and therefore rather impossible to tag!
Hopefully Apple will pick up on this bug and fix it ASAP. Thanks!Hi Dazza9999,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're only seeing black squares in Faces after upgrading, I suggest using the Photo Library First Aid menu to repair or rebuild your iPhoto library.
Before troubleshooting, it is a very good idea to back up your iPhoto library.
Important:
You should back up your existing iPhoto Library before using the rebuild feature. A backup allows you to restore the iPhoto Library if anything unexpected happens during the rebuild that prevents the library from rebuilding correctly.
Before performing a rebuild, you should install any iPhoto updates by using Software Update. If a software update resolves your issue, then you don't need to rebuild.
See this article for the steps to back up your computer with Time Machine:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
Once your iPhoto library is backed up, follow these steps to use iPhoto Library First Aid:
To rebuild the iPhoto library:
Quit iPhoto if it is open.
Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard.
Open iPhoto.
Keep the keys held down until you are prompted to rebuild the library.
A dialog will appear with rebuild options. Select the options you want to use.
Try each step in order, testing to see if the issue is resolved between each step.

Is it possible to get a log of the Face Time calls?
I use Face Time on my iPhone 5. When you check the logs on the Face Time app on the phone, you can only see the most recent calls and duration. Is it possible to get find the log over a much longer time period, like a month? Is there any place where I can find it?
I'm afraid there is only the "most recent" list. Since the calls are mostly placed via Wi-Fi, your carrier can't record the dialed numbers either.

My new speakers make the most annoying hissing noise!
I have just purchased a set of creative megaworks 250d, now having owned an older set of speakers from creative in the past (dt surround system) i had expected the same good quality sound and craftsmanship.
What did i get? The most annoying hissing sound in the world!
I switch my system on and it gives out an audible hiss which can be heard upto 5-10meters away, this is completely ridiculous and pretty much ruins any sound which isnt played at a loud level!
Ive contacted creative customer support who told me to return my product? well, fat use that is when i got my system from ebay and apparently the entire range does the same thing anyway?
Please no comments about how my system is setup wrong and whether i have power interference, because just to check this i've been to maplins today to buy a power conditioner/filter (which cost me ?100 i may add) and a ground loop isolator, neither of these made any difference at all, still the digital snake invades my ears every time i turn the system on.
Now i dont know what your trying to pull down at creative labs, but i can guarantee you wont be staying in the market lead making 'high quality computer audio products' that are by design defective. I want a valid solution to my problem please, i see 100 other threads on the internet concerning the same thing and quite frankly its not good enough. How much would it have cost you to install a pass filter inline to the amplifier to reduce this hiss? or is there one and its broken? is it the remote like some people are suggesting?*BUMP* Any solution would be good? im fairly adept with electronics so dont mind taking the unit apart if a technician would like to tell me how to fix this hiss. Would a low pass filter on the speaker line be a good solution or maybe ferrite coils on the positve wire?, would either of those work before i go out and spend yet more money?

The system doesn’t recognize or capitalize the word (I) or the first word of every sentence. Another really annoying thing about the integrated mail on your Mac computers is the fact that the system learns the word as you type it more and more instead of highlighting it as incorrectly is this is a word that’s being misspelled. Can Apple fix this bug to make it user friendly as if you were using Office or a Word Document?
You hit the target CT.
It’s only fair that if Apple is going to integrate Mail into Mac PCs, it would be nice if the system does it for you like Office or perhaps Outlook. I just don’t to use Outlook although I have it installed and ready to use, but instead use Mail which comes with Mac OS already.
I hope to make some sense here.
