Really, really weird problem involving iPhone and Exposé

Hey Mac users, try to figure this one out, this started happening to me today:
My iPhone is rarely near my Mac Pro, but today I set it on top of my Mac Pro to let it charge. When it's connected to the Edge network, and there's network activity, I get the usual "beepbeepbeep" through my system's speakers, except now there's a twist. Whenever I hear the network activity interference, Exposé on my Mac Pro flips out, and acts as if I pushed the "Show/Hide Desktop" button a whole bunch of times. It stops when the activity stops.
It's not reproducible all the time, and only happens every once in a while. But it definitely only happens during Edge network activity. I've never gotten it while in 3G or Wifi modes.
I am guessing that the Edge signal is interfering with my Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, or something. I don't have any keys mapped to "Show Desktop," though.
If anyone has any thoughts on this, I'd love to hear it. This isn't a really big problem, I just keep my phone away from my Mac Pro now.

If you go into settings - general - about it will give you the version, the latest one is 2.0.1. Updating your phone may solve the problems. Failing that, take it to your nearest Apple store for advice.

  • Really weird problem -- won't download mail from one sender

    I'm having a really weird problem. Apple Mail won't retrieve mail from my Gmail account via POP3 from one sender only. All other mail is downloaded normally, except from a particular sender. What could be causing this? Thanks.

    I am trying to remember and research something about the Junk filter and Gmail accounts. Have you checked in your Junk mailbox, if Junk in enabled and there is a separate Junk mailbox?
    If you click on my name to the left, and look in the bio line of the resulting Profile, you will find an email address you can reach me with. If you email me at that address, I will send you a Gmail address that your sender can test sending a message to me at my Gmail account.

  • I am having some really weird problems with my Iphone with photos and music!

It lets me do it but when I hit done it randomely changes them in puts them in all different orders. Can anyone help?

    This indicates a corrupt file(s).  A restore should resolve.

  • Really weird problem with Usage Tracking!

    Hi guys
    We are running OBIEE 11.1.1.6.5 on Exalytics and allmost all is fine and dandy. We have though one weird problem. When we first enabled usage tracking, we sudddenly got some errors on some of our dashboards, saying that we didn't have the privilegies to create temporary tables. Allright we got our user (which is a shared user) the privilegies to create temporary tables, and the reports with the problems started working again! Awesome! But low and behold - then Usage Tracking stopped working, not a single mentioning in the logfiles about it. Maybe an error or, the acknowledgement that Usage Tracking has started, which is the normal.
    So basically we are running without Usage Tracking because the reports that gives us the problems are deemed more important... which they might be, but thats different story...
    Any ideas to what is going on here? We have collected Usage Tracking data, while the reports were broke, so im quite confident that the setup is correct. But why would it stop, when giving "create table" privilege to our shared user?
    Best regards, Jacob

    What is the setting for UsageTrackingDirectInsert?
    Have you tried chaging the output to file instead of database?

  • Weird problem syncing iPhone 3G with Outlook. Stopped working?

    Hi,
    I really hope this isn't a repetitive question; I tried searching around the internet and either found no solution that worked, or problems similar but not quite the same as mine.
    Anyhow, I just got an iPhone 3G last week and I'm running a PC with Outlook to sync my phone. The first few days all the syncs went 100%, updates calendar/contacts no problem. Then, this afternoon it stopped working. No matter what updates I make to my Outlook or my iPhone, nothing will sync. I plug in the iPhone and sync through iTunes, it says "syncing" but no longer goes into "syncing contacts" then "syncing calendar" etc. I even tried importing my IE bookmarks and got nothing. It almost seems like iTunes stopped "talking" to Outlook?
    I've tried playing with the settings in the info tab of iTunes, I've played around in the trust center of Outlook, made new data files, etc and I just uninstalled/reinstalled iTunes, all doing nothing.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    John

    After almost 1 week of sheer frustrations, I have been unable to connect my Iphone 3G to my exchange server at work.
    I have tried probably every method discussed here, including restoring my iphone 3G several times. My issue has been elevated all the way up to apple engineering, and still no solution.
    It appears that the issue is that I cannot connect because my company is using Exchange server 2003 with SP1.
    I can connect any Windows Smartphone or Pocket PC and it will sync in what seems seconds….very fast. I have used windows phones connected to our server for more than 4 years, never an issue.
    My company has the attitude of we “We don’t want you to connect, you are lucky to be able to use active sync on windows phones!!” So their change is not probable.
    Has anyone found a way to connect Iphone 3G to an Exchange Server 2003, SP1?

  • IOS5 update problems with iphone and ipad

    I first tried to update my iphone 4, with zero success. All software updated on my macbook pro, then when i began to update the iphone, i got stuck on "contacting iphone activation server". I can still manage my iphone and eject it, but no update. This was yesterday and 24 hours later whenver i turn on my ituens, it still says "contacting iphone activation server". iTunes is mostly functional still, but it won't connect to the iTunes store. Next I tried my iPad (1) which successfully updated, but even though I synced from a backup to iTunes, none of my apps or data is on the iPad other than my email. Now when I plug in my iPad I cannot manually manage it. The screen in iTunes when I click my iPad is just a grey screen that says iPad. No info, or buttons to choose manual or automatic update. And the iTunes bar at the top still says "accessing iTunes store", "contacting iphone activation server" and also "genius accessing iTunes store". I get that I'm obviously not connnecting to sites, but why is my ipad not responding in iTunes? I dont think that being connected to iTunes is that important to managing your iPad since I've done it several times with no internet connection.
    Please help! I really dont want to have to email myself all of my documents that I want on my iPad, or try to sync them over my webdav.
    Cheers

    I found a bit of a work around that is working for me, strange but it works. 
    Adding the photo album sub folders 1 at a time and syncing.  Then when it completes, add another one, confirm the pics are there and continue process.  I now have over 35k photos and no gaps or empty albums but if I do more than 2 or 3 they show up empty.
    If empty, unsync them, and add 1 at a time.  

  • Problem with iPhone and iPad keyboard shortcuts

    When I try to access the keyboard shortcuts in either my iPhone 6+, iPad 3 or iPad Air, the sequence Settings>General>Keyboard>Shortcuts causes the devices to go back to the Home Screen.  I spent several hours in a chat with Apple Support, had to go through an iTunes back up on the iPhone and restored it to "new phone" and it fixed the problem on the iPhone, but not on the iPads.  Chatted again today with Support, tried hard reset (press both buttons till Apple logo appears) on the iPad 3 and I could access the shortcuts.  Did the same on the iPad Air with no luck.
    Now, one hour after second Support chat,  none of the devices can access the shortcuts.  There must be a problem with iCloud for this to be happening on all 3 devices.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Same problem also and if I restore both the iPhone and iPad as new I
    lose a lot of progress in my games.

  • Problem with Iphone and telephone provider

    In October last year I bought Iphone 4 in T com Croatia. In the beggining of October 2012 Iphone 4 had a problem with charging. It says charging, but nothing happened. I gave Iphone to telephone provider in order to send it on service because of warranty. After three weeks no information about it. I went there, in T com Pozega, and after I asked about my Iphone, they said, nothing yet. OK, I will wait more, I said. After almoust 4 weaks I went again to t com office in Pozega. Now, again nothing, but person told me that they will contac service Mobis electronic in Zagreb to check. They called me by phone next day and told me that Iphone is out of order because something was spilled on it. Now. I have a big problem. On the Iphone nothing was spilled for sure from my side. I asked them who can garanty that something was not spilled during the time in the T com office or in service. They said, service has a picture to support their report. In other hand, they offer to me to pay 200 euros more, and they will give me new Iphone 4. Just to know, I paid already for Iphone 4 almoust 500 euros. I said no, I want Iphone back, and now I decide to go with another way. I will go to judge and try to get situation to my satisfaction. A lots of information, very bad, I got from other people, and they said, the picture what I received they are sending to everyone the same. And for them it is very easy to ask more money and no repairing with warranty. The picture which I received is nothing, no picture of Iphone, no IMEI, nothing. I hope, you can advice me what to do. I like Iphone so much, and as many people told me, contact Apple, they will help, I am doing that. So, please, help me. Just for your information, they asked 200 euros additional for new, but after that cheaf of T com section in Pozega told me, that normally they are giving new Iphone and no repairing. Why then my Iphone they sent to service. Probably in order to keep money for themselves. I cant do much against service because their words are last, even they are lying to people.

    Getting into a legal battle will cost more than the 200 euros, so that may not provide a solution.  Go to the offices of T-Com and request their "official" first notification of a Customer caused failure of the iPhone.  Tell them you need it to pursue legal action against them for such an accusation and such a long-time to provide such an excuse for trying to extract additional money for your iPhone.  Try to talk with the Manager in charge of the location.  See if he/she is willing to negotiate to an agreeable settlement.  An iPhone 4 replacement should be available to them for far less than 200 euros at this point. 

  • Multiple problems with iphone and itunes

    Long time iphone and mac user here. We have 5 iphones in our family and 4 mac computers. I am fairly competent with them. That said we have nothing but problems when trying to get our iphones to sync or update through itunes. Today i had just had enough so i am spending the day trying to resolve all of the random errors we are getting. This isn't up to Apple's usual quality standards. We have an iphone 5 and an iphone 4 synced to a windows 7 64bit. The issues below are with the iphone 5. All software updates for phone, itunes, and pc have been done. I have uninstalled itunes, cleaned reg, then reinstalled just now. (this resulted in new errors...).
    Here are my issues:
    1. SQLlite.dll error (fixed this one myself by copying the files)
    2. The iphone could not be backed up becuase the back up is not compatible or is corrupted error - can't back up iphone manually over wifi or cable
    3. The iphone could not be synced becuase the iphone could not be found on the network - this just started when i resinstalled itunes. i've plugged and unplugged the phone about a dozen times, restarting the computer and phone each time. We've had problems getting our phones to sync for a while now but usually we can get it to work by plugging/unplugging over and over again, but not anymore.
    Thanks in advance for your help with this.

    Okay here's the entire deal it's my gf's Mac and we used to use it together I would sync on her labtop but now we are having issues and she continues to take my phone when I'm sleeping and connect it to iTunes and then proceed to go through all my things. So basically is there anyway I can remove my phone of iTunes or maybe have a pass code on iTunes for my phone so in order for it to be synced there has to be a passcode entered? Or just is there a way to stop this from happening?

  • Weird problem involving my external hard drive - help please!

    I recently got a formac mini 120 gb firewire hard drive, which had been working fine with my g4 quicksliver.
    i then went to a friends (g5 machine) with my drive and he put some data on it - bought it back to mine and managed to re connect the drive and take the data - no problem - very happy.
    I recently gave my drive to another friend using a g5 and when it came back, nothing - i don't get the drive symbol appearing. turned the comp on and off many times and tried re-connecting etc still no drive appearing.
    Then i took the drive to my friend with a mac lap top power book. connected there - working fine. Baffling. was happy that my data can still be accessed.
    I know it's not the firewire cable because i can get power to the drive - i can see the red light at the fron on.
    Can anyone help with this weird problem?
    Thanks

    Thought you could use this info about getting FireWire to work!
    First, you should always Repair Permissions in Disk Utility before and after any update; I would do that now. If you installed your update with FireWire plugged in, your Mac may not recognize it anymore.
    Try resetting your FireWire ports by disconnecting all FW devices, shut down your Mac and unplug it from AC power (wall socket) for 30 minutes. plug it back in and try FW.
    If that did'nt work, download the combo update from this site (yours may be corrupt), not Software Update, disconnect all firewire + USB devices except keyboard + mouse, Repair Permissions, re-install update, Repair Permissions again + try. Yours might be the 10.4.10 Combo update. I have no idea since you did not fill out your specs. fully when you signed in to this site. Others reading, download the Combo that applies to your system. This link is for PPC Macs not Intel Macs.
    If that still did'nt get it Zap the PRAM. While restarting Mac hold down the following key combo Command-Option-P-R. Keep holding those keys down till you hear the second start-up chime, then release.
    For those of you with Macs that are not PowerBooks or iBooks, a bad internal battery can cause FireWire to not be recognized, so make sure it's good! Also, here is Apple doc.#88338 on getting FireWire to work.
    Good Luck!
    Cheers!

  • Syncing problem between iphone and two computers. Transfer speed issue.

    An issue that I've recently started having problems with is syncing my contacts and calendar into two computers and my iphone. I've recently pickup up a new macbook pro to use when out of the office but my mac at work is still my main computer.
    The problem is the two computers get equal usage but they also each get their own random entries as well as the iphone which requires me to sync the two to my iphone a few times a week. The computer at work runs the sync fine and is my main computer with the music stored on it. The sync with that one runs in no time as long as their isn't any change with the music. The problem comes about when I try and sync with my laptop. I have the sync music option turned off and I always click merge info for my calendar and contacts (about 2000 entries for contacts). The sync with the laptop can sometimes take over 10 minutes and I can't figure out why as it only shows the sync in progress bar.
    It's not like I'm changing much info, it's usually just the calendar so I can't figure out why it takes so long on a much newer computer.
    Any info would be greatly welcomed.
    Thanks,
    Robert

    One thing that might help out.
    Create a new login account on the new computer.
    Open address book and enter a test or real contact.
    open itunes and go through the initial setup.
    Connect the iphone and try syncing just contacts.
    Allow the contacts to merge.
    If this takes the same amount of time, then it is a system wide issue and you might need to reset isync.
    If the sync only takes a short time like on the work computer, then it might be with the data or a program you have running in your user account when you login.
    If you need to reset isync or sync services, here are a few articles that might help out.
    One article is for osx 10.4.x and the other is for 10.5.x

  • Sync problem between iPhone and iTunes (Music&Books)

    Hello, I have a synchronization problem between the macbook and iPhone  5S. On the macbook I've Maverik updated and also the Iphone is updated.
    First problem: the timing so long, especially at the step of applications, compared to when it was fast, applications have not changed.
    Second problem: the music, I flagged "synchronizes the selected music" but all the flags on the selected artists are missing, despite what the music is on iPhone . I tried to flag again on itunes but all song was duplicate in Iphone.
    Third problem: the books, it happens the same music.
    The problem does not occur with the photo with the ringtones and videos.
    I've tried everything from simple restart of the mac and the iPhone, checked and updated macbook, iPhone and itunes. Repaired permissions on the mac.
    What can I do?
    thanks
    Bye
    Ciao, da un po' di giorni ho un problema di sincronizzazione fra il macbook e l' Iphone 5S. Sul macbook ho Maverik aggiornato e anche il telefono non JB è aggiornato.
    Primo problema: la sincronizzazione dura tanto, sopratutto allo step delle applicazioni, rispetto a quando era veloce le applicazioni non sono cambiate.
    Secondo problema: la musica, ho flaggato "sincronizza la musica selezionata" ma sono spariti tutti i flag sugli artisti selezionati, ciò nonostante la musica è presente sull' iphone. Ho provato a riselezionarli e me li duplica tutti.
    Terzo problema: i libri, succede la stessa della musica.
    Il problema non si manifesta con le foto con le suonerie e i video.
    Ho provato di tutto a partire dal semplice riavvio del mac e del telefono, controllato e aggiornato macbook, telefono e itunes. Riparato permessi sul mac.
    Cosa posso fare?
    grazie
    ciao

  • Contact and Calendar sync problems on iPhone and iPad

    Here is the deal. I have an iPhone and iPad. Everytime I sync one, then the other I get the message that the iPhone or iPad is sync'd with a different user. I am the only one on this PC and only one account. And the Contacts and Calendar are unchecked for sync every time. I have to manually check them. It is like my iPad and iPhone do not like to be sync'd to the same Apple account. I want information for contacts and calendar to be the same on both. Advice????

    Synced with a different user, or with a different iTunes library?
    You are syncing contacts and calendar events with which supported address book and calendar app on your computer?
    The iTunes account has nothing to do with syncing contacts and calendar events with a supported address book and calendar app on your computer, but it does have something to do with syncing iTunes content.

  • Really weird problem while Print to Video

    Hi.
    I've tried to fix this problem by searching this forum but I couldn't find any solution so I have no choice but to ask for help.
    Basically when I'm trying to Print my NTSC DV project to tape through firewire enabled camcorder, I can see video with weird gray block all over with no sound. Same thing happens when I'm trying to preview the project through my camcorder.
    I even exported my project and imported it into imovie hd 6 and tried to export to tape but same result.
    My camcorder is Sony HDR-HC5 (HDV) and the setting in both my camera and Final cut pro 6.0.2 is correctly set up.
    Strange thing is, when I'm using HDV1080i60 preset in Final cut pro, log and capture works flawlessly, but somehow I can't even choose HDV device under video playback. I can see all the HDV settings but they are all gray and can't select any of them.
    I remember being able to print DV project to my camcorder with same settings using Final Cut 5.1.4 so I really can't figure out what is wrong with all these.
    Any kind of input would be appreciated.

    Just curious. How do you get your computer too see the HVR. I am using I movie HD and it does not see anything. Is there a camera setup procedure? I looked at the vague manual which was no help.
    Thanks in Advance

  • Really Really Weird Problem

    Hi All,
    I have the following query:
    SELECT *
    FROM
    fin_payment,
    s1_name_and_address s1_name_and_address_b,
    s1_currency
    WHERE (fin_payment.internal_flag = 'N' or fin_payment.internal_flag is null )
    AND fin_payment.bank_id = s1_name_and_address_b.name_and_address_id
    AND fin_payment.currency_code = s1_currency.currency_code
    AND (('P' = 'C' and fin_payment.check_reference is not null )
    OR
    ('P' = 'P' and fin_payment.advice_nbr is not null )
    AND fin_payment.financial_source = 'A/P'
    AND fin_payment.payment_type = 'L'
    AND ('P' is null or 'P' = 'A' );
    It shouldn't return any rows because of that condition which is bold: ('P' is null or 'P' = 'A' ), because it's always false. The problem is if I remove that condition and paste it in the middle of where cluse like this:
    SELECT
    NULL,
    NULL,
    fin_payment.bank_id,
    s1_name_and_address_b.full_name,
    fin_payment.check_reference,
    fin_payment.payment_date,
    fin_payment.bank_amount,
    fin_payment.currency_code,
    s1_currency.description,
    fin_payment.payment_nbr,
    fin_payment.payment_type,
    fin_payment.invoice_nbr,
    fin_payment.ap_check_reference_nbr ,
    fin_payment.reconciliation_status ,
    fin_payment.replacement_payment_nbr ,
    fin_payment.advice_nbr
    FROM
    fin_payment,
    s1_name_and_address s1_name_and_address_b,
    s1_currency
    WHERE (fin_payment.internal_flag = 'N' or fin_payment.internal_flag is null )
    AND fin_payment.bank_id = s1_name_and_address_b.name_and_address_id
    AND fin_payment.currency_code = s1_currency.currency_code
    AND (('P' = 'C' and fin_payment.check_reference is not null )
    OR
    ('P' = 'P' and fin_payment.advice_nbr is not null )
    AND ('P' is null or 'P' = 'A' )
    AND fin_payment.financial_source = 'A/P'
    AND fin_payment.payment_type = 'L'
    it will return some rows which is wrong. I don't know how it generate those rows. Because if you remove that condition, I mean ('P' is null or 'P' = 'A' ), it doesn't retrieve any rows.
    And another thing is, it just happen in Oracle 9.0.1 not in other versions like 8.0.5, 8.1.5,8.1.6...
    any help is greatly appreciated,
    Arash

    No Justin. For making the query easier I wrote that condition (P is null or ....) like that. and s1_name_and_address is an alias.
    I thought the data or tabel is corrupted, so I created a new table as
    "create table test select * from fin_payment"
    no for the same query, I get two diference result on table Test & fin_payment !?
    I really don't have any idea !
