Push button responds with spoken message, pronouncing the name of the button... Instead of opening the underlying screen of app!
Dear all,
My iPhone 4 doesn't work as it should. If I touch any button it responds with a spoken message, pronouncing the name of the button... Instead of opening the underlying screen of app! Bug in the OS?
No, bug in the user, who enabled VoiceOver in Accessibility settings. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3577

Started a similar string before. When I select a recipient in Messages on my Macbook Pro the name shows up in red and says the recipient is no longer registered on iMessage. I know that they are registered. Is there a problem with Contacts possibly. The previous help has been appreciated but the problem persists.
Hi,
Try iMessaging your own iPhone and see if your account is actually logged in.
It can appear "enabled" and On line but sometimes it is not.
Also try sending from your iPhone (number) to your Apple ID and see if it gets to the Mac.
If it does not use the Sign Out button.
Then shut down the Mac
On restart add back the Apple ID to the iMessages account settings.
I also just checked My wife's iPhone as she popped up red.
It turned out her iPhone did not have Messages On.

When I try to open a document from my file on Mac OS X the following message appears, with the Bluetooth logo: 'SELECT A BLUETOOTH DEVICE ....Select a device to send file ...' I then have to go to the source of the document, (e.g. Pages), to open the file. Please could someone help?
The Get Info dialog should look something like this:
The "Change All" button should be at the bottom of the "Open With" section. This is how it appears in Snow Leopard. Other OSX versions many be slightly different.
If something is changing the setting back to something else you may have a deeper problem than I am able to help you with. What is appearing in the Open with area before you correct it?
If the problem is still persisting, instead of double clicking on the file to open it, try right or control clicking and then select Open With and choose the proper app from the list. -
WORKAROUND: "A document with the name 'vnd.ms-excel' is already open"
I'm posting this in the hope that it might help someone else (or that someone else might suggest a better solution)...
I'm using the technique described in the Integrating Oracle Reports in Oracle Forms Services Applications white paper. Basically, this means using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT to generate a report, and then navigating to a URL of the form...
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet/getjobid<n>?server=<name>...to show it.
I had the requirement that some reports (with DESFORMAT=DELIMITEDDATA) needed to open in Excel, so for these reports I added the MIMETYPE command to the URL, so that it was of the form:
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet/getjobid<n>?server=<name>&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excelThis appeared to work, but only for one report at a time. I could generate one report this way, and when I navigated to its URL, the report would be displayed by Microsoft Excel within a new browser window as expected. However, if I left the browser window open, then generated a second report and navigated to its URL, a new, empty browser window was displayed, but a "Microsoft Excel" message box appeared with the following message:
A document with the name 'vnd.ms-excel' is already open. You cannot open two documents with the same name, even if the documents are in different folders.
To open the second document, either close the document that's currently open, or rename one of the documents.
When I chose OK (the only button), the message box closed, but the new browser window remained empty.
If Excel was already running to begin with, the message box was obscured behind other windows, and the new browser window remained empty and appeared to never finish loading (because it was waiting for a response from the message box). The message box only appeared if I explicitly navigated to Excel (for example, using the taskbar). When I chose OK, a "File Download" dialog appeared, followed by a message box that reported the following:
Microsoft Excel for Windows has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
When I closed this message box, Excel shut down.
I could not find this documented anywhere, but it appears as if Excel interprets the text after the last "/" in the URL as the file name. In my case, this was the same text every time (specifically "vnd.ms-excel"), which caused problems because Excel does not allow you to open two files with the same name.
My workaround was simply to add the "JOBNAME=/<n>" command (where <n> is the job ID) to make the text after the last "/" unique (at least in my case). In other words, by using a URL of the form...
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet/getjobid<n>?server=<name>&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&jobname=/<n>...I was able to avoid the problem. For example, for job ID 123, the URL would be...
http://<host>/reports/rwservlet/getjobid123?server=<name>&mimetype=application/vnd.ms-excel&jobname=/123...and Excel would interpret the file name as "123".
Hope this helps.Thanks for posting, this solution worked!

i have a cinema display and i just downloaded the new mac os x lion. the problem is that i can't use full screen with my display, when i push the full screen button the app moves to my macbook, but i want it to stay at the display.
It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work. -
I updated iOS 7 and my contacts were ok then they suddenly disappeared a few weeks after updating. I have no idea if it has anything to do with iOS 7 but when I email someone the contacts are there. When I open the app they are gone. What happened?
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I have a big crossbar mark over my FF4 icon after I've installed and replaced FF3. When I try to open the software, I get "You can't open the application "Firefox" because it is not supported on this architecture." What's up with that?
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html -
I have some trouble with Safari!
Everytime i google something, I expect safari to open the link i click in the same window and same tab - as it did before - but now it always opens a new tab! I'm getting really tired of that! So please help me! I want safari to open the google search link in the same window and tab! How to fix that?
Please help me!!!
Thank you!From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit. -
When I search for stuff on the internet it says safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding and non of my games work either. What do I do to fix this?
Settings → scroll down to Safari → in Safari settings, I selected both Clear History and Clear Cookies and Data.
IF that does not work -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Finally - if problem still present -
Go to Settings>General>Reset
Reset the network settings - you will need to add the password of your home WiFi in your phone once more
The device should turn itself off & back on then go into Settings>Wifi and join your network -
‘File in Use’ message is received when one user is in the report and another user tried to open the excel template. how to make excel template shared for multiple users so the users don’t see the ‘File in Use’ message?
Hi Febin,
In addition to others’ replies, we can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can
edit the contents simultaneously. For example, if the people in your work group each handle several projects and need to know the status of each other's projects, the group can use a shared workbook to track the status of the projects. All persons involved
can then enter the information for their projects in the same workbook.
Regarding how to do this,
the following article can be referred to reference.
Use a shared workbook to collaborate

Mail will not display images with .jpeg extension. .jpg works fine. (displays in place when opening the email. What plug-in would correct this?
If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

When I opened iweb it opened as a file I deleated. I have a published website with godaddy and would like to update. How can I open the existing iWeb app to the site that is already published?
You cannot retrieve the already published site as iWeb CANNOT open it - it has no import facility.
You need your domain.sites file, which you can find under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. You do not need any kind of account for this because it is your domain.sites file that resides on the hard drive of your Mac anyway. Find this file and you can alter your website.
Use a spotlight search to try and find it and if this does not work you can download something called Find Any File. If you really can't find it, then you'll have to start from scratch because iWeb cannot open a site that is already published. -
