Random underlining in content

I've imported a Word document into the Help System I'm
working on and it inserted
underlines at random places throughout the content. Doesn't
seem to be any rhyme or reason for it. I saw this before on content
I copied/pasted from a Word document into Robohelp. I was able to
remove it from that one, but unfortunately, this content is too
long to manually do that.
Any suggestions on why this is happening and what to do about
it? Thanks!!
Edited to add: I noticed that the text that appears
undererlined in the browser (but not in Robohelp) was assigned
another style "msoins0". It has underline properties. Don't know
where this style came from...

No track changes... However, I played around with this and
found that when I exported the content of the help file into a Word
document (which is how this document was created), it converted
certain text to one of two character styles (that it created - they
are not ones that I've seen/used before). The styles were "msodel",
which showed strikethrough and red, and "msoins", which showed in
black text with underline.
To fix this problem before Iimported the document, I opened
the Word document and modified these styles so that neither
contained strikethrough, red or underline. Then Imported it into
the Help Project.
All is well, but I still don't know why it did that in the
first place.

Randomly underlined text in incoming emails

For some reason, in received emails, information is randomly underlined within the message and in the color blue thus causing wording to be a "hyperlink". It prevents me from being able to scroll through the message to read it. How do I get rid of? I am guessing that it must be a setting that I inadvertently enabled? Extremely annoying. I am using a BB Torch. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

My boss just updated his Torch to the lastest software update and now has this same problem. Can someone please help? I hate to have to wipe his device.

Random spacing between contents page sub headers (CS2, WINXPSP2)

Hi,
I'm a new user to Adobe Indesign CS2. I was creating a table of contents when I encountered this unusual problem.
Here is
a sample of what happens below:
2. System
2.4 system components
2.4.1 Intelligence Manager features........... 9
2.4.2 Video Manager features.................. 10
2.4.3 File Manager features................... 11
2.4.4 Folder compiler......................... 12
2.4.5 Software................................ 13
2.4.6 Keyboard................................ 14
2.4.7 Mouse................................... 15
All of the headers under 2.4.x should actually flow one after the other
without any spaces in between. But I get these unusual random spaces when I update my contents table. The problem does not occur when I implement the other headers like Chapter x, Sub chapter x.x. Please help with determining what the
problem is. I will be very grateful. By the way, I am currently using
Adobe Indesign CS2.

Jarren,
Please repost in the ID forum. That is where the people that use ID hang
out. They are the people best able to help you. This forum is for the
most part for people have suite-wide issues.

Flash CS5 randomly deleting library content

Sorry if this isn't the right sub-forum but it seemed to be the closest to my issue as far as I can see.
Hello,
I'm working on a rather large project at work using CS5 Flash. The project involves loading several .swf files at different times from a main 'hub' type structure. Think of it as a multi-channel platform and when you click on the channel you want, it loads the sub-swf with the videos and movie clip contents/as code in it.
As one can imagine, this has cause the overall project to grow quite huge. When we open up the main fla file that contains the library content of it's children fla's, some files will randomly go missing. These files are being shared over a network with various people via a file repository system so no two people can be working on the same file at the same time. This doesn't appear to be the problem, nor is accidental deletion as an individual can check out the files, work on them locally, save them locally, close and reopen them locally and random content will be missing again.
We believe that the issue may have to do with the overall size of the fla's (the fla's range in size from 16mb to 3mb). They will be playing as stand alone objects, not on a website so other outside content isn't an issue. Some of the computers being used are 64 bit system while others are 32 but all systems have had the issue. We are also using AIR to help with some of the functionality but this issue started before we started using AIR.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Did you ever get any resolution with this issue? I am having this too, in multiple projects that aren't connected.
I even had the same exact MCs in the library in multiple FLAs just in case this happened. When it did, I attempted to drag the MCs from one FLA (where they were NOT deleted) into one where where they WERE deleted....thinking that I would be able to hit "replace" all since the MCs were named the same....when they appeared on the stage they were empty! It wasn't until I deleted the old MCs (with the missing content) that the new ones would show up when dragged over.
If you have ANY resolution to this please let me know. I am surprised that this isn't a major issue with more people.
I even have this issue on different Macs using different installed software!
So this is systemic!

Apple TV Randomly Deletes Entire Content After Restart

So I just plugged in my Apple TV to power and noticed that the first 30 seconds after the main menu is presented, browsing through the menu was very sluggish. I then proceeded to watch streamed content, and after the movie was done, I noticed that the Apple TV was resyncing everything I had synced to the Apple TV.
This isn't the first time this has happened to me. All I know is that the Apple TV remains linked to my iTunes library but, randomly, deletes content once in a blue moon after unplugging it from power and plugging it back in. Don't know if this is a bug in the system or if I am doing something wrong but, all in all, I'd like to know if any of you know what the heck I'm talking about.

That does not matter. If it does then Apple logic is incorrect (and I am saying this as software engineer and designer with quite alot of expereince in numer of large companies). The software is supposed to be transferred into "buffer" fully before it shows up in system structure. If it overrides the existing data then it HAS TO PROVIDE PROMPT with question to a user as this poses a risk of losing data.
So synching in background should NEVER override file risking corruption on power failure. Do you know how data backup systems work (e.g. storage)? This is not a new discipline and Apple should follow the general rules in implementation of such systems regardless if this is media synching for fun or not. People get involved their money in solutions and toying with solving problems on unreliable solution is not entertainment - listening to music and watching movies is entertainment. We pay for reliable solution that is not wiping out what costs time and money. If they provide unreliable solution then they should provide some info, procedure or perhaps a way for backup. They don't more frequently thses days (comapring to what I saw few years ago) so, I lost already two episodes of TV show that I purchased from their store and I am upset as well.
I rely on Apple TV a lot, but I feel I am wasting my time if company start treating me similarily like other big company (figure out which one) that I left for ALL Apple solutions in 2003.
Advises in manner "do not restart" are not appropriate, because sometimes you do not have control over power outage in your area and system should consider those as well (apart of other things that may delete content accidentally).

Randomizing blocks of content

a client of ours has requested that we provide mulitple
chunks of content (image, text with links), bascially profiles of
individuals that will randomly switch out on "refresh". Can anyone
provide me with suggestions on the best way to do this. I have done
it with images only..but not with entire blocks of content. Any
suggestions would be considered...oh did I mention he requested we
have this completed by Monday morning?
DOOKS

Should be simple to do. David Powers tells you exactly how to
do this with
a random quote section in his PHP for Dreamweaver 8 book from
Friends of Ed.
Assuming you are using PHP/MySQL, this would be exactly the
ticket. An
afternoon at Borders/Barnes & Noble with a few triple
mocha lattes and
Chapter 8 should allow you to meet this deadline.

ITunes randomly deleting content - the "!" shows beside them, but they are not where iTunes says they are

Hi - I find that iTunes has been randomly deleting some content (movies or songs) from my library. I'll go to play something and it will have an exclamation point beside it. Sometimes if I "Get Info" and locate the file, it will be there, and then play fine. But sometimes it is completely gone from the library (still listed with an exclamation point, but not in the file folder it was stored in). In that case, the location in the "get info" window shows as:
file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
Even if I view hidden files, I cannot find that folder location to move the content. The content is also not in the Trash, nor on the extrernal hard drive any more.
NO idea why this is happening, and can't figure out a pattern. Is anyone else having this issue, and/or found a solution?
As background, I'm on a MacBook Pro (2011), running OSX Lion. I sync an iPhone and an iPad2 to the iTunes library. iTunes is set to manage files automatically. The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Thanks to anyone that can help!

file://localhost/Users/Username/.Trash/iTunes Media/Movies/Movie Title/Movie Title.m4v
But that file location is your System Trash - you seem to have a problem with the permissions on your Trashes, either in your system Trash or the hidden Trash bin on your external drive.
See if any hints in this document help to locate the trash on your external drive:
Solving Trash Problems: http://thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html
The library is stored on an external hard drive accessed through a Time Machine.
Do you mean your Library is stored on a network volume (Time Capsule)? Then network problems may be the reason for your dead tracks.

Error while Creating Prestage Content File for Application in SCCM 2012

Hi All,
I am using SCCM 2012 SP1 on Win 2K8 SP R2 box. Database is SQL 2008 R2 SP1 CU6. I have trying to create Prestaged content for Applications for extracting pkgx files on DP's. I am getting the below error message for random applications(not for all applications
but for random applications).
Content that will be included into the prestaged content file (1):
Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55
Export all dependencies: 'Yes'
Selected distribution points: 'MPSERVER.GS.WORLD.PRESS.COM'
Prestaged content file: 'G:\pkgxfiles\Application\Citrix Receiver 13.3.0.55.pkgx'
　Error: Distribution is currently in progress for selected packages: HM0000D9. Please wait and try again
But if I see this application is successfully distributed to 2 of the distributions points long ago. If I reupdate the Distribution point and then again try to create prestaged content for this application then pkgx file for that application is getting
created.
Why this is happening and how can I resolve this?
Thanks & Regards Uttam

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening a support case with CSS as they can work with you to solve this problem.

W500 Issues. Cursor movement, Web page aborts, uncontrolled scrolling, random page loading

Dear Reader and / or Correspondent,
I am experiencing issues with my Lenovo laptop computer and my Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. My issues’ are many and they all revolve around the phenomenon of either a ‘floating’ cursor that wanders across the screen; or, ‘jumping’ pages or windows that appear unasked for and uncontrolled.
The cursor moves across the screen even when it is not controlled by the user. It moves like it had a will of its own. Sometime sit refuses to move at all. But if a enough time is allowed it will resume submitting to the user’s direction. On other occasions, it leaps about the screen as though it had a mind of its own. If left on its own it will wander about the surface of my desktop or inside a lit or activated Window.
Coincidently, the windows or the ‘screens’ or the ‘pages’ displayed on the LCD panel of my laptop will randomly change their content or size. If I am surfing the Internet the pages or the screens may float or leap to or transition to a prior screen iteration or to a completely new screen or to a web page that I last visited several week prior all of the
This erratic behavior began after I installed all of the recommended software updates, improvements and security downloads from Microsoft and Lenovo last week. I was acting in response to their instructions to upgrade my software defenses following the release of the STUXNET malware.
Since this phenomenon began my last week I have been unable to use my Lenovo laptop in a professional and relaxed manner. It is constantly forcing me to correct its random maneuvers and unpredictable behavior. It is a great burden and it is very inconvenient.
By the way, this unpredictable and troubling behavior occurs when I am composing correspondence, visiting web sites and playing computer games. Just typing a simple email is a challenge because of this wayward behavior. I never know where the cursor will travel to on my laptop’s screen, when it will move and how often it will occur.
Suffice it for me to say that: “… it’s a real pain in the butt.”
Can any of you recommend a solution to this problem? Have you ever experienced anything like this issue? Is it a software issue? Or, is it a conflict between two or more software applications? Does the problem occur because a file has been damaged? Is a piece of hardware causing this error? Have any of you experienced a similar set of challenges?
Coincidentally with this cursor error I have lost the ability to access my email account. My account exists and the email is in the account. But my laptop will not link to the mail servers (Yahoo and ATT.net). My Outlooklink to my email account does not work either.
My laptop is a LENOVO W500 ThinkPad.
My operating system is a Microsoft Vista Business 64, Service Pack 2 operating system.
My laptop is configured as follows:
CPU: T9400 @ 2.53 MHz Core2 Duo Centrinos
Video card: ATI FirePro v.5700 with 512 MB
Memory: DDR3 4GB.
Mice: HID and IBM ThinkPad Ultranav Trackpoint and Touchpad.
My antivirus and security software is as follows:
Antivirus and Internet Security software: AVG v. 11.0
Malware Defenses: Malwarebytes
SuperAntiSpyware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
COuld you please advise me what the possible source or cause of thee issues is ?
Thank you.

HI, Ed and ~Bee —
Ed, a tiny complement — maybe — to ~Bee's successful solution...
I also use both an Apple Bluetooth and an older cordless LogiTech mouse. I keep them separated — except when I need to use the latter to help "re-connect" my Bluetooth mouse. I've noticed that if I forget and leave them near each other, my cursor begins to "skitter" something awful! Moving the LogiTech mouse a few feet away solves the problem.

Dean

A random shuffle

If I want to create a continuous loop to keep on shuffling until it gets the same sequence of numbers as the original String. How do I do that?
public class MyClass
     private Object[] myArray = null;
     public static void main(String[] args)
          MyClass shuffler =     new MyClass(new String[] {"1", "2", "3", "4","5","6","7","8"});
          System.out.println(shuffler);
          shuffler.shuffle();
          System.out.println(shuffler);
          shuffler.shuffle();
          System.out.println(shuffler);
     public MyClass(Object[] anArray)
               myArray = anArray;
     private void shuffle()
               java.util.Random rnd = new java.util.Random();
               for (int n = 0; n < myArray.length; n++)
                    int j = rnd.nextInt(myArray.length);
                    Object o = myArray[j];
                    myArray[j] = myArray[n];
                    myArray[n] = o;
          public String toString()
               String s = myArray[0].toString();
               for (int j = 1; j < myArray.length; j++)
                    s += ", " + myArray[j];
          return s;
}

Here's a java way of handling the shuffling back to the original using cloning, the .equals method inherited from Object (and then overridden), a single instance of Random regardless of the number of decks and a little polymorphism...
Simply pass a set of parameters to represent the deck. IE
java MyClass A B C D
and it'll shuffle them until a shuffle results in the original list again. Note it's non-deterministic since the shuffle is randomised...
import java.util.Random;
public class MyClass {
private static final Random generator = new Random();
private Object[] contents;
public MyClass(Object[] contents) {
    this.contents = (Object[]) contents.clone();
public void shuffle() {
    for(int j = 0, k = contents.length; j < k; j++) {
      int r = generator.nextInt(k);
      Object o = contents[j];
      contents[j] = contents[r];
      contents[r] = o;
public int getSize() {
    return contents.length;
public Object get(int index) {
    return contents[index];
public boolean equals(Object object) {
    boolean result;
    if(object instanceof MyClass) {
      result = equals((MyClass) object);
    else if(object instanceof Object[]) {
      result = equals((Object[]) object);
    else result = false;
    return result;
private boolean equals(MyClass object) {
    boolean result;
    if(getSize() == object.getSize()) {
      result = true;
      for(int j = 0, k = getSize(); j < k; j++) {
        Object o1 = get(j);
        Object o2 = object.get(j);
        if(o1 != o2 && (o1 == null || !o1.equals(o2))) {
          result = false;
          break;
    else result = false;
    return result;
private boolean equals(Object[] object) {
    boolean result;
    if(getSize() == object.length) {
      result = true;
      for(int j = 0, k = getSize(); j < k; j++) {
        Object o1 = get(j);
        Object o2 = object[j];
        if(o1 != o2 && (o1 == null || !o1.equals(o2))) {
          result = false;
          break;
    else result = false;
    return result;
public String toString() {
    String result;
    if(contents.length == 0) result = "";
    else {
      StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
      sb.append(contents[0]);
      for(int j = 1; j < contents.length; j++) {
        sb.append(", ").append(contents[j]);
      result = sb.toString();
    return result;
public static void main(String[] args) {
    MyClass shuffler = new MyClass(args);
    System.out.println(shuffler);
    int j = 0;
    do {
      shuffler.shuffle();
      j++;
    } while(!shuffler.equals(args));
    System.out.print(++j);
    System.out.println(" shuffles before returning to original.");
}Hope this helps

New 27 iMAC keeps crashing iMovie and freezing videos on YouTube & Quicktime

We just got a new Sept 2013 iMac three days ago, purchased refurbished from the Apple Store online. The whole point of the purchase was to be able to use iMovie to thoroughly edit videos for our YouTube channel, use garage band, lots of internet surfing and video watching etc. We spent the extra dollars to get what we thought was the most improved version of the iMac with all the souped up specs in order to avoid any hassle and headaches from a lack of performance. Here's what we have:
3.4GHz quad-core Intel Core i7
27-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit display with IPS technology; 2560-by-1440 resolution
8GB (two 4GB) of 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM
1TB hard drive (We have only used 80 GBs of it so far, so plenty of space left)
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M graphics processor with 2GB of GDDR5 memory
720p Camera & Mic
OS X 10.9
We're feeling a bit duped now as this seems to have turned out to just be a big expensive piece of junk. Here are our problems:
- Firstly, thank goodness that we had our own Logitech HD camera/mic left over from our PC because the "HD camera" built in to the iMac is worse in quality than my old blackberry curve. Grainy, lack luster, mic has sharp and distant sound, really really bad and false advertisement.
- In the middle of using iMovie (iMac came preinstalled with the newest one, i think its 10?), it will stop responding properly or will crash and close, we wont even have any other programs running.
- When opening Quicktime to record a new video, in the middle of a recording or while the recording window is idle, it will start glitching - flashing between live footage and a freeze frame repeatedly. The only way to stop it is to quit out Quicktime and open again and try to record quickly, or in some cases we have to completely restart the iMac, which then still randomly in the middle of a recording or idle window it will continue to flash and glitch. (You can view an example here in the last minute of one of our videos, we tried to make it work and kept the take since we were doing our outro music dance, but it totally ***** when this happens randomly during our content portion and we have to redo recording. http://youtu.be/MAJzaEShJGw?t=4m34s )
- When watching YouTube videos, the computer takes a while to respond to a command, like if we click on a certain part of the video, it will not load it until we press the pause/play button a few times and wait. Also at the beginning of a video it will start glitching and freezing again, similar to how we explained above in the quicktime, but faster.
If you are familiar with what could be the problem or have any advice, PLEASE HELP, we are concerned that after dropping so much money within just 3 days of use, this iMac is not performing flawlessly in the areas that we most needed and want to know if these issues are common and fixable or if its a defect that would require we send this thing back immediately. We did not get apple care and would hate to have wasted money that we really dont have on a glitchy crashing huge piece of junk.
Want to mention a few other pros and cons unrelated to our issues, for those who may be considering buying one too:
PROS:
- The Magic mouse is really great, particularly because of the scrolling and zooming gestures. (Though sometimes i accidentaly swipe in a browser and go back to a previous page losing any information that was input on the page i was originally on, for example, i had to retype this whole apple imac inquiry because i swiped backwards by mistake and the whole form cleared! annoying, wish the horizontal swipe navigated between tabs instead of going through the page view history.)
- When the imovie is not crashing, after watching some tutorials and making a few vids, its a really greatly improved program from the '09 version we used to use. I import and edit videos much faster now, and footage does not freeze or take time to load while im dragging and dropping, it is immediately responsive.
- Love using the Talk to text function (like Siri) by pressing "fn" twice. Use this to write long emails and papers with ease. Would like to see a "Speak" read back option that allows for text to be selected and read back (like Siri on iPad)
CONS:
- The text is SO small everywhere and there is no option to exactly set text size across the whole system, only option given is to set a different resolution which lessens the quality of the screen with pixelation, and some programs give you the option to set custom sized text in their individual preferences.
- Sometimes in both iMovie & Garageband, simple automated functionality will stop working, for example in iMove, when certain screens or images are dragged and dropped to the work area by the activity bar (i dont know what else to call it, the line that rolls across during playback or stays put when pressing spacebar) usually, that screen or image will click into place to align with the activity bar and will highlight the bar yellow to further communicate that alignment before you drop it, but after extended use in a session, that snapping into alignment when adding items stops working. Or sometimes you can drag and drop the ends of a title screen to adjust/trim the clip, but after extended time that too stops responding and does not let the cursor turn into that arrow that allows you to trim or extend, until after many frustrated clicks or a quit and restart.
- When sharing/exporting a video from iMovie, i would recommend unchecking the add to theatre option because it significantly extends the amount of time needed to complete the action and i found out the theatre is just like a video stream of your movies to be shared on icloud for easy access from your other devices (similar to the icloud photostream connected to iPhoto). It takes the time to make the video readily availabe in various sizes on the Mac server for easy access, which means it takes forever for your video to be exported to where you actually want it. This is not something we need and is not worth the wait time. (For example, last ime we left the theatre box checked, the progress status of the video was estimated to be completed in 351 minutes, and then 20 minutes later that somehow inclreased to 385 minutes, then duddenly it was done, so i think this add to theatre option also cause the progress status updates to go berzerk.)

Given the maximum RAM that model can use is 32GB, and the earlier release of that 27" mid-2013 iMac is nearly the same in most regards, you may note the listing of this slightly older iMac 27" is here in an Apple support document...
•iMac: How to remove or install memory:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1423#1
The images of where the RAM chips are located, behind a metal plate, should be similar in your iMac and the mid-2013 iMac 27" shown in images on that page. Note there are several models discussed.
You could take the computer to a certified Apple service facility (retail store, or specialist reseller) and pay them to do this, and buy the RAM from them, and you will pay for this at a retail level. If they do it, you'd want to be assured the computer did all the things you sought to cure by upgrading RAM, correctly without fault. Like run tests and stuff.... Or there's no reason to not go ahead (after confirming from Apple) that you could buy quality RAM and do this job yourself, citing the Apple page link I'd posted above.
Contact Apple Support:
http://www.apple.com/support/contact/
You'd have to obtain the correct RAM (as indicated in my earlier post, citing MacTracker) of suitable quality for use in a Macintosh computer, and the recommendation for a DIY is to get the kit from 'Other World Computing' OWC online at their site. You can talk to knowledgable sales staff at OWC about what you have and what you need, and to help they may ask for the product serial number.
This is OWC and they have the spec RAM required for your iMac 27" model; double-check info:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/iMac/2012_27/DDR3L
Since yours is an Apple Refurbished model it will have a different number series. Unlike those in a retail store, because Apple does that to tell what ones they refurbished; refurbs I bought online were like that.
With questions during the first three months, you can get 'support' under the initial 90-day span of ownership of the new (and certified) Apple refurbs bought online; the other part of that is 'service' for 1 year. Call a nearest retail Apple Store, to set a genius appointment; or go online, and start the process of reporting your issue, while you still have some kind of warranty on the device. They can diagnose the issues you cite and tell you if you can upgrade the RAM (as you likely can) then you can buy and install the RAM yourself and probably pay less than 1/2 the retail rate, if you get some from OWC. A diagnosis is free if the Genius looks into it, but you'd need to set an appointment & lug the iMac to their store; protected from weather/shock.
If you want to extend the complementary service to three years (less the included 90-days) and add two years of AppleCare service, that is an affordable option of about $170. For a total of three years coverage.
{If you had a 21.5-inch iMac the RAM would require a service department visit where they use a different method to install the RAM upgrade. Those are built differently than the 27-inch iMac.}
There is a bit of detailed important information in the Apple link on how to upgrade the iMac RAM. There is a certain amount of RAM installed already and these chips would likely be removed if you get matching sets of new RAM to upgrade the capacity. And no matter what some say, there is a reason why they can be upgraded with more. Even with Mavericks OS X 10.9.x and its 'memory compression' etc, it would gladly accept all the RAM upgrade chips it could swallow. (Behind metal screen, mid-bottom iMac 27")
You may need to consider questions about applications that use system resources separate from those about whatever issues your iMac seems to exhibit. There may be some other cause of the video and iMovie symptoms, but more RAM won't hurt given the beast you bought can use 32GB and it has 8.
And if it seems too much to handle, you have 14 days from date of
purchase to take it back. Contact them ahead of then, if you do.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing!

Smart playlist not working

My smart playlists aren't doing jack squat for updating. The live-update checkbox is checked. I tried unchecking it, then going back and checking it again. No luck. I have lots of new songs on my computer that simply are not showing up. And the music isn't random at all. It's not changing. Very frustrating.
I have a smart playlist limiting size (so it fits on my ipod), checked random, and live-updating. Nothing else. But it won't update.
I'd just recreate it every time I want to sync (which I did once hoping to fix the problem), but it's used in a bunch of other playlists too, so that's a huge pain to recreate all those too.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this? I am lost, and a bit mad at the software (trying hard not to dislike apple right now).

Why can't my criteria simply be limit size to 14800MB ...
So I guess checking random just selects random songs, it's not actually a criteria. So really that Should be a criteria....Random. Just that.
I Just want a certain number/size of random songs.
You have to have at least one criteria, which can be something as simple as "Bitrate Is Greater Than 1 kbps" which all your music would meet, then set it to select 14800MB selected at random. iTunes will grab 14800MB worth of songs, selected at random, but the contents won't change unless you include criteria that forces songs out of the playlist to be replaced. Otherwise, the playlist contents will never change. Make sense?
HappyPants wrote:
In my case I really don't want to use the criteria as you suggest, "last played is not in the last 'x' days" because sometimes I like to hear the same songs over and over again ... I just can't fit all my music on my ipod and wanted the nano for it's size. So the best solution for me is to just have it randomize my songs a bit every time I sync.
Then how is iTunes supposed to differentiate between the songs you like to hear over and over and other songs that it needs to select "at random"?
HappyPants wrote:
After some thought, I chose to do: last skipped is not in the last 1 day.
That should change quite frequently before putting a song back into the playlist, and it should keep the songs that I like listening to over and over.
Now you're thinking
I still would like there to just be some way of just limiting the size and having it random though.
You can do this (see my first suggestion in this post). However, what you're asking is for iTunes to somehow know what songs you want to keep on your iPod vs. the songs it is supposed to pick at random.
I would recommend you make a regular playlist (not smart) that holds the songs that you always want on your iPod, then a smart playlist that randomly selects from the rest of your music. In the smart playlist, include the criteria "playlist is not (other playlist name)" so that you don't double up on the same songs.
If you want to manage an iPod that is smaller than your library, I would recommend you spend some time reading an excellent paper on how to do this:

Fnd_global value can not retrieved in webadi

Hi All,
We have faced a problem in custom webadi.
it is seems that the fnd global value(FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID,FND_GLOBAL.ORG_ID etc.) can not be getted ,
whenever the function is used in content query,parameters,LOV,upload api and VPD tables..
And this problems only happens randomly.
eg.1
content query sql:
select * from oe_order_headers_all where org_id = FND_GLOBAL.ORG_ID
When download data from web adi ,the records can be downloaded with data correctly ,
and downloaded with no record sometimes.(the record can always be downloaded correctly if without org_id condition.)
eg.2
upload api package:
insert into who column values as, CREATED_BY : FND_GLOBAL.USER_ID
There are the inserted record whose CREATED_BY value is both -1 and nomal user id.
Is there some solutions or patch to solve this problem?
Regards,
leno

Hi Abhi,
Thanks for replying. Yes I have these in place. I have immediate ="true" and the value of my input field is bound to the backing bean and I try to access it from the action method called from the second button.
When I call getEmpName() from method I get null pointer, that because empName is initialized to null. I have the same thing working in another bean and form.
I don't have any validation on the page yet. Everything is marked showrequired = "true"
Shall I try to remove the page binding to the bean.

Thanks

How to remove highlighted word ads on web pages. Tried everything

Hi everyone. Haviing a problem with highlighted words ads on web pages. Tried everything. Went safari / preferences / extensions. Removed everything. The problem remains. Can anyone help me on this one?

you may have Genieo installed
see
http://www.genieo.com/faq/#q20
Note that, if Genieo is installed, using the recommendations that Genieo themselves provide on that page will not remove it. They cannot be trusted, and their uninstaller is known not to remove everything. Proper Genieo removal instructions can be found in my Adware Removal Guide.
I don't believe this is a Genieo problem, though. Genieo usually just hijacks the search engine. It doesn't cause the random underlined words that cause ads to pop up. That's going to be caused by some other adware, probably also described in my Adware Removal Guide.
